Brian Billick put the Baltimore Ravens on the map. He came in after the short lived Ted Marchibroda era in 1999. The Ravens were only entering their fourth season in Baltimore. The 2000 season saw the Ravens win Super Bowl XXXV. Everything that embodies the phrase “Play like a Raven” started brewing in the Billick era.
The reason Billick was a good coach is he won the way he could, not the way he wanted. He was supposed to be an offensive genius when he got to Baltimore. Billick didn’t have the tools he had when he was the offensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings.
