The Brian Billick era in Baltimore is over

Despite his insistence that his job was safe, the Brian Billick era in Baltimore is over.

The team fired their head coach Monday, FOXSports.com has learned, capping an extremely disappointing season.

This comes one day after FOX Sports reported that the players and other employees informed team owner Steve Biscotti that Billick had completely lost the locker room and could not win them back.

Billick was hired as an offensive guru but during his tenure it was his defenses that won for the Ravens, especially their Super Bowl title. Over time Billick was unable to get his QBs to star and his offenses stalled year in and year out.

Earlier this year he proclaimed that he had been given the vote of confidence from Biscottit but that was never confirmed and was obviously not true.

They might promote Rex Ryan... and he might bring in Rob to DC!

I liked Madden's comment on Billick.

"When you're offense is working, you're an offensive guy. When you're defense is working, you're a defensive guy. When neither is working, you're Brian Billick"
