I feel the same way as you do, Dan Coats and/or Sue Gordon are somehow involved in this bombshell reporting from Washington Post.
I, however, look at it from a different angle.
Below is an excerpt from WAPO.

"A whistleblower complaint about President Trump made by an intelligence official centers on Ukraine, according to two people familiar with the matter, which has set off a struggle between Congress and the executive branch."

"Two people familiar with the matter."~~ Could these two people be Gordon and Coats? The current version of "Deep Throat"?
In my opinion, neither one was the whistleblower.

Rachel Maddow has also reported the time-line. Something we may reference shortly when this whole bombshell blows apart:
