review: Editorial Reviews About the Author Former Super Bowl-winning head coach Brian Billick is currently an analyst for the NFL Network, a position he has held since the 2009 season. During the regular season, Billick appears every Sunday as an analyst on NFL GameDay First and appears on NFL Total Access during the weekdays. Billick began his broadcasting career after spending nine years as an NFL head coach for the Baltimore Ravens from 1999-2007. As the second head coach in Baltimore Ravens history, Billick compiled a record of 85-67, including a 5-3 playoff record. In just his second season as Ravens head coach, Brian followed up an 8-8 rookie campaign with a 12-4 overall record and the franchise s first championship in Super Bowl XXXV, with a 34-7 victory over the New York Giants. While Billick is known for his offensive expertise, the Ravens became one of the league s fiercest defenses under his tutelage, allowing an NFL record-low 165 points and leading the league in turnover differential in their 2000 championship season. In addition, during his tenure in Baltimore, six different Ravens assistant coaches went on to become NFL head coaches at five different franchises. Prior to his time in Baltimore, Billick spent seven seasons (1992-1998) as the offensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings under then-head coach Dennis Green. During that time, the Vikings made six playoff appearances and in 1998 set a then-NFL record for most points scored in a season (556) and a team record for touchdown passes (41). Previously, Billick held assistant coaching stints with San Diego State University and Utah State University, before being hired by Green at Stanford University in 1989, where he spent three seasons as the assistant head coach and tight ends coach. A graduate of Brigham Young University, with a degree in journalism, Billick was a standout tight end for the Cougars, earning All-WAC and honorable mention All-America honors in 1976. Subsequently, he was selected in the 11th round of the 1977 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers. Billick has written several books, including co-authoring Finding the Winning Edge with Bill Walsh. Brian also wrote the well-received book Competitive Leadership.
