Another example of an NFL owner not recognizing the problem.

yep, and there are years and years of bad personnel management to blame, yet they fire the coach.

Yes. He was extremely innovative in Minnesota, where he would tell Daunte Culpepper to drop back and chuck the ball as high and as far down field as he could and let Moss outjump everyone for the ball.

That is why it has been no shock to me that he can't generate any offense whatsoever for the Ravens in all these years.

...and what's really hilarious is that Brian Billick's biography on Wikipedia has already been updated to say that he was the head coach of the Ravens through December 31, 2007.

It would never happen, but thinking about Adams and the KNS crew trying to kiss Billick's butt brings a smile to my face.

They did that on short plays too. Moss is an offense.

you've forgotten the part where Culpepper really sucks, but was a Pro Bowler under Billick.
