I don't see how that explanation makes sense in the context of the "bloomer"'s description in the post ...

Well, if he just got his tenure at 40, that means he presumably did something else in his life before tackling this path. Him saying the students can just call him Jeff is also maybe linked to him having still been a student until recently. I assume, it's a case of this being funny, if you actually study history and know a professor like that. 🫠
