Being Brian Billick

Posted on February 26, 2008 4:45 PM
Someone ought to get inside the fired Ravens coach's head. Brian Billick has no idea why he was fired in Baltimore.

Maybe he ought to read the Ravens Central blog. Mike Preston all kinds of reasons why Brian got crunched by Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti...
Billick was fired because he lost to a quarterback named Cleo Lemon. He was fired because the offense was inept. He was fired because the Ravens couldn't score touchdowns. He was fired because he was changing offensive coordinators like Hillary Clinton changes moods in the presidential election race. He was fired because fans stopped coming to games and his locker room was in disarray. He was fired because he no longer could connect with his players, and he won only five games and had a losing record with a team that was expected to be one of the league's elite.
No tears for Billick, for sure. He'll get $15 million to sit around the house over the next three years. That's a lot of time for him to get good at Madden NFL and figure out how to run an offense again.
