Ravens fire Billick

[Gutter]

Being reported by Adam Schefter on the NFLN. No link yet.

 

[Sleeper]

Talking about it on ESPN.

It was time for Baltimore to make this move.

 

[Trey Beamon]

But who will call the plays?

 

[outofplace]

One AFC North coach down, one more to go....unless the Bungles are going to give Lewis yet another opportunity to fail. It was time for Billick to go, but the same goes for Lewis. At least Billick won a championship there.

One less reason for me to hate the Ravens...yet somehow, I will still manage.

Offensive genius, oh, offensive genius, whatever happened to thee?

 

[zagoshe]

Is it because he is an arrogant prick or because his offenses suck or because as a play caller he was the worst?

Case in point -- the second half of the Patriots game. They can whine all about the ref's as much as they'd like but they lost because of this buffoon.

 

[Sleeper]

I can't help but laugh that ESPN has confirmations by both Len P. and Chris Mortensen in the second graf of their story.

One of the more undisciplined teams I've seen in recent years.

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

He'll be hired by another team in about five minutes. Falcons, anyone?

Next Man Up?

Mort and Pastaroni?

Lions?

 

[Sxysprtswrtr]

And now ESPN breaks in -- 20 minutes late.


Lots of college gigs open, too.

 

[Herbert Anchovy]

You don't have the podium anymore, Brian.

Asswipe.

 

[cougargirl]

Happy effing New Year, Brian Billick!

He should have been canned three years ago. Heck, maybe even a few weeks ago after his team staged the ultimate meltdown against New England.

The only reason Billick is an "offensive genius" is because of Randy Moss.

Next Man Up?

Well, Tuna started cleaning house today. Mueller is out.

Cam Cameron's got to be getting nervous.

No nervousness.

He's gone.

Billick's fate was sealed by the loss to the Dolphins. (Sorry, Simon.)

He wins that game, and avoids the infamy of losing to what may go down as one of the worst, most pathetic teams in NFL history, and he still has his job.

It's HOW he played that fourth-and-goal from 6 inches away.

I swear it was like he had the Dolphins +3 1/2.

The only surprise for me was how quickly they fired him.
