Brian Billick spent nine seasons as head coach of the Baltimore Ravens; he was fired after a 2007 season in which the Ravens went 5-11 and missed the playoffs for the third time in five seasons.
Billick became the second head coach in Baltimore Ravens history on Jan. 19, 1999, replacing Ted Marchibroda. The Ravens went 8-8 in Billick's first season, and they were 12-4 in 2000, earning an AFC playoff berth as a wild card team. 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.

  1. Count John Harbaugh as one of the best

    There are few times when questions about the Ravens cause me to pause, but there was one last week which was simple, yet so intriguing.

  11. For players, AFC championship the 'epitome' of where they want to be

    For the fans, Sunday's AFC title game between the Ravens and New England Patriots is just another step to the Super Bowl. But those who have played in a conference championship for Baltimore say that, psychologically, the game means much, much more.

    That they don't have the best postseason reputation is not lost on the Ravens. The franchise is 9-6 in the playoffs, and four of those victories occurred during the team's magical run to win Super Bowl XXXV to cap the 2000 season. The Ravens are the only...

  15. Similarities abound when looking at Ravens and Patriots

    In 2007, Steve Bisciotti made his first major decision as the majority owner of the Baltimore Ravens. He fired Brian Billick, in part because the team had just gone 5-11 to miss the playoffs for the third time in four years, but also because he wanted to change the entire culture of the organization. He wanted someone who possessed not only a first-rate football mind, but also someone who would deal with the players, the media, the community, the fans and the support staff differently.

  19. It's time for Cameron and Flacco to prove their worth

    It's fair to say that both Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco and offensive coordinator Cam Cameron feel they have been under-appreciated in their four years in Baltimore, but they can change that if they devise a game plan to beat the New England Patriots Sunday.

  23. Billick wants new playoff re-seeding plan

    With the Ravens facing the possibility of starting the playoffs on the road should they lose to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday -- the Pittsburgh Steelers would have to win their game Sunday, too -- the topic of playoff re-seeding is relevant. There&rsquo;s a chance the Ravens could finish 11-5, which would still be the AFC&rsquo;s third-best record, and start the playoffs on the road against the AFC West champs (Denver Broncos or Oakland Raiders).
