I doubt he would be very good at all if he did. Randy Moss/Cunningham and Culpepper made his career. His offense has proven to suck since then.

I do not know. But, that guy is a freaking genius apparently.

Either that or he got lucky with Ed Reed adn Ray Lewis.

Mike Nolan from 2002 - 2004
Marvin Lewis from 1996 - 2002

I think you would have a better chance at Nolan. Dad coached the Saints back in the day. Nolan was once a coach at LSU. Nolan is defensive coach where as Billick is an offensive guy. Nolan has no job at this time. Still not much of a chance though.

I'm actually a little surprised (not much) that he wasn't at least mentioned for the Washington job. He's a Pac-10 type of guy type of guy - big on offense, coached in the states of Utah and California exclusively, in college.

He does a great job in the box. He'll be another Cowher or Fassel and sit out till the right pro job comes along.

I’m saying this as a Ravens fan: Billick is at best a mediocre coach. The NFL is more of a personnel league than a coaching league: the best front offices tend to win. And the Ravens have one of the best front offices in the NFL, particularly on draft day.

Billick had a defense that was top ten almost every year for 10 years (and often top 5), and he failed to build a powerhouse. If the Ravens had merely had a league average offense, they would have won multiple Super Bowls. Instead, he could never find an offense to build around Jonathan friggin Ogden.
