Last week, the college football world lost a great man in former Purdue coach Joe Tiller.

During his time as the Boilermakers’ head man, Tiller transformed the way B1G teams viewed offenses. As some put it, Tiller brought basketball to the gridiron.

Since Tiller was such a revolutionary figure in college football, Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck decided that the Golden Gophers will wear a helmet sticker honoring Tiller this Saturday when they take on Purdue.

 

Fleck is right. Football did lose an elite man and coach in Tiller.
