Billick gets a bad rap because he's a supposed "offensive genius" and his Ravens teams were lacking on offense.
His mistake was putting faith in Matt Cavanaugh as his OC, and his personnel department never getting him a legit QB.
The Ravens always hit on their defensive draft picks, but for the most part, whiffed on their offensive picks. Billick seems to take the blame for that.
I personally think Billick is a hell of a gameday coach - and on the occasions where he took over the playcalling from Cavanaugh, the offense responded.
Much like getting Shanahan a solid DC, I think if you pair Billick with a solid OC (or let him call his own plays), he'd be a damn good choice.
