For a couple of weeks we have heard some rumors behind the scenes that former Purdue coach Joe Tiller is battling poor health. There has been nothing concrete, however, so we haven’t reported on it. Most of it has been inference with no definite knowledge of what is going on. As you know, coach Tiller is a pretty private person. He deserves that privacy.
Sadly, those rumors were confirmed today via Kevin Sumlin during his press conference at the SEC Media Days:
Kevin Sumlin asks for prayers for ex #Purdue coach Joe Tiller who "isn't doing too well" & publicly thanks JT for all he's done for him.
