Story: http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/7621108
After going 5-11, and never really putting together the offensive juggernaut that Billick was to be touted to do, the Ravens have decided to go in another direction.
Who will be the next Raven's head coach? After winning a Super Bowl for the franchise, does Billick deserve this?

| With an even record now (33-33), how does a Super Bowl 7 years ago justify current performances. I definitely think it was Billick's time to leave the Ravens. |

That is true, but Mike Shanahan in Denver hasn't won a Super Bowl in several years, either. I guess it just depends more on the franchise's ideals.

yeah but i think the broncos have a lot of young talent there, the ravens have veteran players who are ready to play in the big games..........so maybe thats got something to do with it

Yeah. It is really hard to tell.
I know that Billick was originally brought in because he was considered an offensive guru. However, his legacy will always be that of winning a Super Bowl with one of the best defenses the league had ever seen, with an offense that was headed by Trent Dillfer, who managed the games well, pounded the ball with Jamal Lewis, and didn't make mistakes.

Billick has made a few empty promises as far as rebuilding the offense goes. They need a quarterback in Baltimore badly. McNair is past his prime and it's obvious that Kyle Boller will never be a big time starter in the NFL. The Ravens must rebuild, starting with the quarterback position.
