I think its time to call Billick again..

[HopefulBillsFan]

Right now Ralph!!

he is offensive minded.. and so is Mike Tice.

Grimm turned us down.. Cowher turned us down.. both Shottys turned us down..

[BillsWin]

I don't think they ever called him the first time!

[BillsWin]

Plus, Grimm didn't turn us down. They had a short week and it didnt get done this week. He said he was focused on the Arizona job right now and if the opportunities were out there at the end of the season he'd entertain them.

[Syderick]

Atleast try to contact him and see if he's interested.

[Night Train]

No way. OBD knows better.

Monday, they will request an interview with MLK, only to be shocked at the news of his death.

[Prov401]

Yea, and Mike Tice just signed with the Bears today to be their O-Line coach.

[SABURZFAN]

it amazes how Billick seems willing to come to Buffalo and they don't want anything to do with him. the Bills SUPPOSEDLY claimed that they want an offensive minded coach with Head Coaching experience. the only candidate they have is a DC with no Head Coaching experience. am i missing something here?

[ddaryl]

It amazes me that people think Billick is an offensive mind

Anyone who beleives this I have a challenge for you, Show me his offensive genius during his HC years. Show me the fatastic offensive capabilites he is known for...

Here's another great Billick read

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=pasquarelli_len&id=3175189



After the Baltimore Ravens (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=bal)' lengthy search for a starting quarterback in 1999 concluded with the underwhelming signing of free-agent journeyman Scott Mitchell (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=829), then-rookie coach Brian Billick attempted to allay the concerns of unimpressed fans by self-assuredly proclaiming: "Trust me, Baltimore, I know quarterbacks."



Those came to be infamous words in Baltimore, where Billick spent the ensuing nine seasons demonstrating that he knew very little about how to fix the Ravens' chronic shortcomings at the game's most critical position.


As Billick departed on Monday, having delivered a Super Bowl XXXV championship but never having remedied the Ravens' most glaring deficiency, it's worth mentioning that the team's quarterback situation is every bit as unsettled as when he arrived.

Video: Billick Firing

Check out ESPN.com's video on the dismissal of Ravens head coach Brian Billick:
• Owner makes tough call (http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/videopage?videoId=3175165&categoryId=2459789) http://assets.espn.go.com/i/m_arrow.gif
• Billick out after nine years (http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/videopage?videoId=3175056&categoryId=2459789) http://assets.espn.go.com/i/m_arrow.gif




<!-- end sidebar table -->


Having presided over some of the NFL's best offenses of this era while serving as the Minnesota coordinator under Dennis Green for five seasons, Billick was never able to transfer that same big-play magic to the Ravens during his tenure as head coach.


Yeah, the Ravens won a Super Bowl title, but that was more a result of a suffocating defense, and it came in a season when, as usual, Billick was forced to shuffle quarterbacks.

The quarterback who led the Ravens to their Super Bowl win, Trent Dilfer (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=2900), was gone the following spring. And the litany of names with whom Billick attempted to fill the position -- guys like Tony Banks (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=3502), Elvis Grbac (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=2365) and Stoney Case (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=3144) -- defined the term suspect

[Ron Burgundy]

Billick's rep mostly comes from the (absolutely sick) years he had in Minnesota. As a head coach, he made all the chicken salad out of chicken **** that he could, and leaned on one of the best defensive squads ever to get him by.

That, and a Super Bowl ring, will get you places.

I hope, given the other possible candidates, that he's our pick. I'm not worried about his offensive numbers. I'd like the next guy to be a good head coach, who can get us good coordinators, that can get us to the playoffs.

Billick did it four years out of ten as a head coach, and got a championship out of it.

Sold.

[Commissioner]

Right now Ralph!!

he is offensive minded.. and so is Mike Tice.

Grimm turned us down.. Cowher turned us down.. both Shottys turned us down..

BILLICK BLOWS DONKEY TESTICLES!!!!

TRY AND LOOK PAST THE RING....

[PECKERWOOD]

I want Billick, he is the obvious hire, but right now it's looking like Brian Schottenheimer will get the job. 1¢

Didn't Brian Schottenheimer turn down the interview?
