Former SMU assistant Joe Tumpkin was just settling into his new role as linebacker's coach at the University of Central Florida when his former boss -- and recently hired Pitt defensive coordinator -- Phil Bennett called him to gauge his interest in becoming Pitt's linebacker's coach. Bennett, who was most recently the head coach at SMU and worked with Tumpkin the past three seasons, didn't have to ask him twice. Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt announced Tumpkin as the new linebacker's coach at Pitt yesterday. "I had been hired at Central Florida on Jan. 14 and was getting started, but right after signing day I got a call from coach Bennett," Tumpkin said. "I wanted to at least look at the opportunity and the more I looked at it, I felt like based on my past experience with coach Bennett -- I learned a lot of football from him and we get along tremendously -- and what I know about Dave Wannstedt it made it [a job] I couldn't turn down. "For a young coach, it is really something special to be able to be around and work for some of the great defensive minds in football, like coach Bennett and coach Wannstedt, and I am excited about what I can learn from them for my future and my career." – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

I guess it does not take long for reality to set in!

I was wondering how long it would take for the news to hit here.

With Bennett in Pittsburgh, I'm not too surprised he left to work with him again.

Why post it myself when a guy who is more obsessed with my school would normally do it for me?
