This isn't an op-ed by Thiessen or some other neocon hack, it's an official editorial board stance LINK

Mr. Pompeo, who has a reputation as a hawk and who in Congress relentlessly pursued groundless attacks against Hillary Clinton’s State Department, did his best on Thursday to be reassuring. He stressed that he favored diplomatic solutions with Iran and North Korea; he played down the likely consequences of a decision by Mr. Trump to scrap the Iran deal next month. Importantly, he promised to defend the State Department’s budget and to quickly seek to fill its many vacant positions, which would be a welcome departure from the odd management style of the departed Rex Tillerson.

He called all former SoS for advice not just HERTURN.
I don't know if he is using diplomacy so that they pass him through; or he will bring back the Obama/Bush admin hacks at the State Dept.
ETA: WaPo endorsing him is the deep state endorsing him.

Democrats who pressed Mr. Pompeo on his record, including his questionable statements about Muslims, have legitimate concerns.
But rejecting or delaying his nomination, as Mr. Trump juggles multiple crises without adequate counsel, probably would make an already parlous situation worse.
Mr. Pompeo should be deployed to Foggy Bottom in the hope that he will fulfill his promise to revive and reassert U.S. diplomacy.
