scs787 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Pretty good write up on him on Purdues website. "I am thrilled with the addition of Tim Tibesar to our coaching staff," Hope said. "He is on the cutting edge of the science of defensive football. The Canadian Football League is an offensive league - with 12 players per side on a wider field and three downs to get a first down - and features the zone read game that we are seeing more and more of at the college level. Tim knows how to defend that offense, and I am excited to see him bring his defense to Purdue. "The head coach of Montreal, Marc Trestman, is one of the great minds in football, and he could not have offered a more glowing recommendation. Tim is a high-energy, high-morals guy who our players will really like. He's a bona fide winner. Our football program got significantly better today." In Montreal, Tibesar (pronounced TIB-eh-sar) was promoted to defensive coordinator for the 2011 season after spending the previous two years as the linebackers coach. The 2011 Alouettes completed the regular season with the CFL's top-rated run defense, allowing merely an average of 92.4 yards per game. Montreal went 10-8 during the regular season before getting edged out by Hamilton in overtime of the East Division semifinal in the playoffs. With Tibesar on staff, the Alouettes captured the CFL's 2009 and 2010 Grey Cup as the league's top team. He was an integral part of the 2009 defense that helped Montreal rank as one of the top units in CFL history. The 2009 Alouettes finished the season ranked first in 22 of the league's 26 defensive categories and finished second in fewest points allowed per game in CFL history. He joined the Alouettes after spending three seasons at Kansas State, the first (2006) as special teams coordinator and the final two (2007-08) as defensive coordinator. Under his direction in 2007, the Wildcat defense led the Big 12 Conference in sacks per game (2.5) and finished fifth in the conference in turnover margin. At K-State, Tibesar mentored six players that earned All-Big 12 honors. Tibesar was regarded as one of the top defensive coordinators in all of Division II prior to his arrival at Kansas State.
