Last month I wrote about the growing sentiment in West Lafayette that it may be time for Joe Tiller to go. At the time Purdue Athletic Director Morgan Burke didn't come out and say he was looking for a new coach, but he also didn't deny that he was considering it either, which couldn't have been very comforting for Tiller.Well, Tiller has even more reason to be paranoid now because Burke is out there looking for Tiller's eventual replacement.
Purdue University has talked to at least one potential eventual replacement for football coach Joe Tiller, though Purdue's athletic director said there is no immediate plan for a change.Okay, that just makes a ton of sense. I'm not going to fire my head coach yet, I just want to get in some practice interviews with new candidates in case I do!
"Joe Tiller is my coach next year," Morgan Burke told the Lafayette Journal and Courier.
Obviously this isn't sitting well with Tiller, nor would you expect it to, and now there's a possibility that Burke won't be able to fire Tiller either this year or next. No, Joe may just tell Burke to take this job and shove it.
However, conversations about an eventual replacement have angered Tiller and prompted him to consider leaving the Boilermakers immediately, according to several reports.
