I agree, and this is also a factor that complicates matters. Bisciotti places an emphasis on how Billick interacts with the press, his scouts, his players, to a degree that I think is probably uncommon among NFL owners. If Billick meets those expectations and the team goes 8-8, maybe that will be good enough for Bisciotti. If the team goes 10-6 but the team has issues that Bisiciotti decides is Billick's fault, then he's in trouble.

If not for "Next Man Up" we wouldn't even have a clue about Bisciotti's attitude, and even with that book, we still don't have a solid clue about what he thinks is most important. If they have a Detroit type meltdown, Billick could be in Bisciotti's doghouse even if they make the playoffs.
