Sounds like Joe Tiller is in a hospital recovering from a heart attack. Get well soon, Coach!

Top notch guy, and will always be on my list of favorite Cowboys. I hope he has a full recovery.

He's at the mecca of medicine so he's where he needs to be. Hopefully this is a speedy recovery. Is he still retired and living in Buffalo or only part time?

He still lives here. My wife is friends with Joe through work and sees him frequently.

His cousin passed a note to us saying that he's back at home (original tweet was a week ago), and the prognosis may not be good.

Happy to hear that he's home, but sad otherwise. God speed, Joe. We hope you can bounce back!

I visited my hometown of Buff yesterday and asked a friend in the know and he advised it looked bleak for a while but he's doing better and resting comfortably!! Really all we know for now

Really good article about Sumlin and Tiller.

Didn't know(or knew but forgot) that Kevin Sumlin coached in Laramie.

Maybe this sets the record straight.
Tillers are fellow parishioners, and this link and the corrected story Stymeman posted I think is a step towards setting the record straight. From their comments, the family is appreciative of all the thoughts and prayers, but my two cents, let's respect the Tiller's privacy and not start speculating or spreading rumors. I think I speak for most if not all posters in that we want to be supportive and not a pain in the... for the Tillers :thumb:

This has gotten a bit weird. Sumlin saying he went to visit, but family claims he didn't, odd. Maybe Sumlin got too tied up at Longmire Days and drank a few too many Rainiers...
