Brian Billick

OK, the more I think about this, the more I am intrigued by the opportunity that developed today with the firing of Billick. Talk about a WOW. If SMU could land him, Orsini would instantly move back to my good list and all would be forgiven. I would even allow posters like perunapower and IPP to say "I told ya so" without challenge (even though we would all know it would be dumb luck).
Think about it--Brian Billick. This guy has a Superbowl Ring with the Ravens, went 13-3 LAST YEAR in the NFL, essentially built the Ravens from scratch, went to a Superbowl without a real quarterback nonetheless, has college coaching experience, was known for an explosive offense with the Minnesota Vikings as OC, etc., etc. WOW!!!!!
The only drawback I see would be the increased time it might take to put together a college football staff, coaches and recruiting team. But again, this would be a WOW and, in my opinion, worth the wait of these last 10 agonizing weeks.
I'm sure it would be tough to convince him to come to SMU (he probably made a lot more than $2M with the Ravens and all of the other issues associated with SMU), but if we could land him. WOW!! Just WOW!!!
Go get him Orsini. I will even backdate a leftover Christmas Card and send it to you.
