LABills08 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 There is a reason Billick hasn't coached since 2007. If the Ravens had actually developed a QB/Offense, they could have perhaps been the most dominant team of the decade. Their defense has been tops in the league season after season, but they never put together a solid offense. This does not lend much credibility to Billick's offensive approach. He is especially known for being poor at developing QBs, something the Bills need help with. He is pretty much a has been. I mean, Jauron could have won a superbowl with that defense. If they can't land Cowher, I would look towards some of the young Coordinator prospects. With so few HC openings this offseason, the Bills will not have a huge amount of competition for the top rated guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrags Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I think his coaching W-L record is nothing to write home about.1999 8-8 2000 12-4 2001 10-6 2002 7-9 2003 10-6 2004 9-7 2005 6-10 2006 13-3 2007 5-11 Over all: 80-64 .556 Yes...his coaching record is better than Dick Jauron's - but who's isn't? I would rather take my chances on a guy that has not coached - and roll my dice that we have the next best "new guy! Just throwing some names and their records out there. You can say what you want about Billick but his record is similar to these HOF coaches if your talking about winning% Earle (Greasy) Neale- .588 Invented the 4-3 Defense Jimmy Conzelman- .517 Owner/Player/Coach Hank Stram- .575 1 Super Bowl win Steve Owen- .550 1927 Championship team allowed less only 20 points entire season (13 games) Marv Levy- .562 Lost 4 consecutive Super Bowls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zona Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Yeah he's not a great solution for the offense but I would take a head coach with a ring I completely disagree. He was the mastermind behind one of the highest scoring offenses in league history. (1998 the Vikings set the NFL record for points). I think it shows that he can look at a teams strengths and weaknesses and coach and plan accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talley56 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 The Browns/Ravens had been awful for about a decade. Billick took over and they were superbowl champions in just two years, perenial playoff contenders thereafter. I'm not understanding why this would be a bad idea.

Las Vegas Calling... Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 The man won a super bowl. That is one more super bowl victory than the Bills have had in their 50 year existance. Depending on who Billick brings with him, this may not be a bad move. I would like Cowher like many of you, but I don't think that he is coming to Buffalo.

(1998 the Vikings set the NFL record for points). I think it shows that he can look at a teams strengths and weaknesses and coach and plan accordingly. Agree. ---As the offensive coordinator of Utah State University, Billick improved the second-worst offense in Division I-A into a top-ten offense in only three seasons (1986-1988). ---During his 7 years with the Vikes, they made the playoffs 6 times. ---In 1998 the Vikes set the NFL record for most points scored in a season. ---Billick was brought in to jump start the Ravens' offense. Points went from 265 to 324 the first year. ---Baltimore went on a run of three playoff appearances in Billick's first three years, with three stellar QB's - Trent Dilfer, Elvis Grbac, and Kyle Boller. ---In just his second season, the Ravens rode their top-ranked defense to the Super Bowl championship.
