Nope - the huge warning signs where there all along from Koemans past - both at Valencia and Benfica most notably
Tuchel has one blemish which is being sacked by Dortmund and it had nothing to do with the teams performance but all about the CEO and him having major disagreements.
Koeman by and large lived of a huge playing reputation, and most of the links to big jobs came from his side, with Tuchel he has earned his reputation as a very good young coach, and the links with him to big jobs come from that.
My reading of the situation was he was very unhappy at players leaving. Dortmund have quite a strict model of selling players on a rolling basis and interesting they went for Ajax's manager. He won't have to sell as often with us, so it's no bad thing for us.
He would be a perfect fit for what we are trying to do with Walsh, Unsworth and the academy side of things. He is not of the class of Ancelotti (Only 2 or 3 are) but he fits perfectly the general plan of the club, which you can't underestimate after the chaos of last summer.
What he did at Mainz was equivalent of what Moyes did at us or what Dyche has done at Burnley. However taking Dortmund from the mess they were left in under Klopp to having consecutive top 3 finishes, at a time when Bayern where back to their dominant best is not small feat.
I like Silva at Watford, but he has done it for less time than Tuchel and could still be a flash in the pan. This fella seems very well suited to Everton. It would also be a bit of a Eureka moment for Moshiri.
