Baltimore defeated the Denver Broncos, Tennessee Titans and Oakland Raiders in the playoffs en route to Super Bowl XXXV in Miami, where the Ravens earned a 34-7 win against the New York Giants.
The following season, the Ravens went 10-6 before losing in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs. Baltimore made the playoffs four times in Billick's nine seasons. Billick has more wins than any coach in Ravens history, having compiled a record of 85-66 during his tenure with the Ravens.
Before coming to Baltimore, Billick was praised for his accomplishments in Minnesota, where he was the Vikings' offensive coordinator from 1992 to 1998. In 1998, Minnesota set a then-NFL record by scoring 556 points during the regular season.
Billick was born on Feb. 28, 1954, and attended Redlands High School in Redlands, Calif., where he played safety and quarterback. He spent his freshman season of college at the U.S. Air Force Academy before transferring to BYU, where Billick became a tight end. The San Francisco 49ers selected him in the 11th round of the 1977 draft, but Billick never played a down in the NFL.
