The man who guided Drew Brees as a Boilermaker and was the school's winningest football coach, died Saturday at age 74. "Coach Tiller was an important person in my life and to so many other guys who played for him," Brees, the New Orleans Saints star who played for Tiller from 1997 to 2000, said. "Joe Tiller was one of the great coaches in all of Purdue history," Purdue President Mitch Daniels said. Purdue played in five bowl games in school history before Tiller arrived; the Boilermakers played in 10 on his watch. I've tried to respect everybody, so I would like my legacy to be that I was a good guy who could also coach football."
