Brian Billick fired today. The "Offensive Genius" never had that great offense. But that wasn't totally his fault. GM Ozzie Newsome never got him a good quarterback. However, that's purely luck as well.
In the end a change needed to be made. I would have much preferred a more experienced defensive coordinator, although Rex Ryan has coaching in his blood as son of Buddy Ryan.
I wonder if the decision came down to owner Steve Bisciotti? And if so, hasn't he learned by watching Dan Snyder that football decisions should be left to football people?
Update
There are now reports that Ravens players went to Bisciotti to tell him Billick had lost the team and would not be able to get them back.
