They aren't going to sniff 10 wins - going better than 6-6 is Purdue's benchmark for success in '08, and they will struggle to get 0.500 done.

I think the important word in my statement was "hope". 
Any outgoing coach wants to go out on top, be it record, season, bowl.. even that guy somewhere reverse south of OSU.

Well stated, Tiller served the Big10 well in every aspect of the game. Sad to see him go. Good Luck to Purdue in the future. |

Hope is supposedly a good recruiter...and beyond that he fits the mold of a Purdue coach...
Joe Tiller.......... .......Brock Spack (DC)..... Danny Hope (HC '09)
 ........  ........ 
it's all about the 'stache.

South Bend Tribune: Tiller's influence still spreading

Tiller's influence still spreading
By AL LESAR Tribune Staff Writer
CHICAGO -- Twelve years ago, Joe Tiller had no idea what he had wrought.
When Jim Colletto resigned after the 1996 season, Purdue's football program made a bold move by handing over the keys to Ross-Ade Stadium to Tiller, a cowboy from Wyoming.
Tiller's maverick style was enhanced by the unique, wide-open, "basketball on grass" approach to what became known as the spread offense.
Thursday, Tiller faced the Big Ten media body en masse for the final time, allowing himself to look at the impact he's had on how the league operates on the field.
All but a couple teams in what used to be the "three yards and a cloud of dust" league have offenses predicated on the pass-happy attack that was thought to have been suited just for warm climates."(The spread offense) is almost like a reflection of our society," Tiller said, the philosopher in him coming through. "It can be an instant offense. We live in an instant-gratification society.
"An offense like that was gonna (catch on) sooner or later. Young people like to throw or catch. It's a fun style to participate in. It keeps people interested and makes the sport of football enjoyable."
cont'd...
