Yeh. But consider he was very loyal to Paul. Paul making him underboss- he's next in line. Well okay being underboss doesn't guarantee your next but it's close enough

Also, by havingTommy as boss Paul would guarantee his personal
family still gets a cut of the proceeds whereas by promoting anyone else, he runs a risk

He wouldn't promote Tommy Gambino as boss because Paul's smart, he would know that was a death sentence for Tommy whom he prob cared for.
