Cause more times than not he gets the most out of teams no matter what the talent level is. Screw the Super Bowl year, remember two years ago when the Ravens werent supposed to win 4 games and have the No.1 pick in the draft? Well they almost made the playoffs cause they draft really well and b) Billick got the most out of a VERY young team. Also, while I love ripping on Trent Dilfer as much as the next guy (and being a Buc fan that SB almost made me quit the NFL) do you think they would have gone anywhere had Billick not pulled Tony Banks? I think not. I dont care how good that Defense was, Tony Banks would have continued to find ways to lose. Dont get me wrong his QB choices have been suspect to say the least but to say Brian Billick isnt a good coach is absurd.
How does Billick deserve credit for pulling Tony Banks? It was an obvious choice. As for two years ago, much less pressure with a young team. Where the players are more willing to listen to the coach, and work harder.
