Tiller became a major college head football coach somewhat late in his career. He was hired as the head coach at Wyoming just 12 days after his 48th birthday and became the head coach at Purdue two weeks before his 54th birthday.A disciple of the wide-open offenses used in the former Western Athletic Conference  Tillers Wyoming teams enjoyed great success in what he fondly refers to as the \"Wacky WAC.\"After leaving the Cowboys for Purdue  some coaches insisted that his one-back  spread offense wouldnt fly in the Big Ten Conference  with its physical  smash-mouth style of play. Instead  Tillers fast-breaking offense  now nicknamed \"basketball on grass \" took the Big Ten by storm. Before Tiller came aboard  Purdue had endured 12-consecutive losing seasons. But under Tiller  the Boilermakers have enjoyed arguably their most successful winning stretch ever. Tillers first eight teams went to bowl games  including the Rose Bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948721008693,"sku":"ByrdShop_1596700327","price":59.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781596700321.jpg?v=1770054447","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/tiller-not-your-average-joe","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
