 OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) - The next coach of the Baltimore Ravens will be pressed to produce as quickly as his predecessor, who won a Super Bowl in his second season on the job.
Brian Billick got off to an outstanding start as an NFL coach, but in the what-have-you-done-lately world of pro football, his failure to keep the Ravens in the hunt for a world championship cost him his job.
Billick was fired Monday, less than 24 hours after the Ravens concluded a season of high expectations with a lackluster 5-11 record. His entire staff, including defensive coordinator Rex Ryan, also was dismissed.
