Re: What does Billick need to do to stay on board?
For many of us, it has been the o-line for a number of years.

Flynn has had more NFL players plow through him than the Hilton sisters.

Re: What does Billick need to do to stay on board?
- Keep the team competetive
- Keep the team focused and together
- Win on the road
- Stop the bickering with the press
I don't think we need to make the playoffs for Brain to keep his job. I think making the team competetive this season will be enough. I'm reminded of the patience the Steelers brass has had with 'the chin'.
Do you think that type of patience is good or bad in today's NFL? I personally think it is good, especially if the coach has a decent track record.She had me at "Hell, NO!"

Re: What does Billick need to do to stay on board?
I think the kind of patience you are citing, Ron is essential in today's NFL. Things can go one way or the other very quickly and knee jerk reactions do nothing to improve the situation. After this past off season I'm just not sure Bisciotti has that kind of patience. Time will tell..

Re: What does Billick need to do to stay on board?
I'm not sure about Steve's patience, either. Like you said, time will tell.
One other thing that could cause BB his job, which I forgot about, is breakdowns on the road like last seasons' game in Detroit. I think a game like that this season will make Brian's seat that much hotter.She had me at "Hell, NO!"

Anthing short of a winning season, and I think, the Ravens make a change. Although 8-8 might be enough to buy him another year, especially if we have another spat of injuries, just my opinion

Re: What does Billick need to do to stay on board?
With people really starting to come around on this OL problem, I am starting to believe that we need to take a closer look at Ozzie at the same time we look at Billick. Our OL has lacked talent and that isn't Billick's fault. Blame him for locker room problems or lack of motivation. But don't blame him for being stuck with Mike Flynn and his giant contract.
As for the OL, anyone who doesn't still believe the OL is the most important part of the offense need only to have watched the Steelers last night. The Steelers OL literally swallowed up the Miami defensive, even on blitzes. And they made Charlie Batch look like a freaking pro-bowler. I've never seen a backup QB chuck the ball downfield so much.

Re: What does Billick need to do to stay on board?
Sting, while Ozzie may not value certain positions in the way we like there is no way he gets fired. We are at minimum one onf the 3 best drafting teams in the league. He also hired a coach that won us a Super Bowl. Ozzie has earned the right to hire the next head coach of this franchise (Kirk Ferentz).
I still think that good and bad teams come and go, so if we hold onto Billick during the lean times it will probably come back around in his favor at some point.

Re: What does Billick need to do to stay on board?
If we start 0-6 Billick would be fired. However I can't even see that happening. Even in my worst dream :hammer:
