Wow, I hope they hire him; that would be awesome news to see this dipshit gone.

Billick absolutely sucked in Baltimore as an OC/HC. Ravens were always horrible passing the ball. He never had a good QB though - in all fairness.

To my knowledge he never served as the offensive coordinator while also serving as the head coach in Baltimore. It doesn't remove culpability for the performance of his offensive units, but except for a short period when Matt Cavanaugh was first hired to be OC, Billick did not make the offensive calls.

I would be interested to see what he could bring to the team, especially if we draft/sign a quick, shifty wideout or halfback that can spread the field.

Billick fired his OC and took over play calling in Baltimore.

The Ravens missed the playoffs in 2004 (9–7) and 2005 (6–10) before bouncing back in the 2006 season. Billick fired offensive coordinator Jim Fassel on October 17, 2006, assuming the role for the remainder of the season, as the Ravens earned a franchise best 13–3 record, won the AFC North and earned the first playoff bye in team history.

My bad...

But...it looks like he did ok when he was in charge of the offense!

So you're saying anyone who agrees with swift must be an alter ego? The guys who can check ip's are laughing at you right now. The only thing I find hard to believe is that swift and I are in the minority on a lot of the things we agree with.

I agree but I was just trying to give Mularkey even more reasons to leave Big Grin

no i didn't say that at all. i've seen others here agree with him on certain points. i don't totally disagree with him on everything. just that you're the only one who consistantly agrees with him on most of his ideas.

so as not to hijack a decent thread any further, i'm done with this part of the conversation.

i'd be ok with Billick as an OC, i don't think i'd want to consider Childress. Norm Chow would be ok with me, and i'm going to study Ralph Friedgen a little more and see what i can find out about him, but from what i've read about him so far, he'd appear to have some quality experience as well. Those are the only names i'm familiar enough with to even comment on.

vince young for trade
actually, young is still a Titan. They're going to try to trade him rather than just release him. Bud Adams always believed in him more than Fisher did, and with Fisher out of there, I could see Adams throwing this smoke screen up until he hires a new HC. Supposedly they're going to also interview Fewell.

I'd trade for him, I'd be willing to give up 2 cokes and some chips. I know, it's a steep price, but his potential is sky high!
