Steve Bisciotti of the Ravens fires Brian Billick, states "There's a Hall-of-Fame coach out there and it's our job to find him" and proceeds to take a chance on John Harbaugh. Now Harbaugh may be a bust, he may be the next Bill Walsh, or something in between, but at least the Ravens are trying to move ahead.

The Danny, OTOH, spends three weeks looking for a coach and comes up with the retread Fassel. Now I'm not knocking Fassel - he took the G-Men to the Super Bowl, and the playoffs a couple of other times besides that run. But.... he was fired as the O-Coordinator in Baltimore and didn't even get that position in KC when he interviewed for it. Anyone who sees this as anything more than a one-year place-holding hire until Cowher or some other big name becomes available, I'd like to hear your opinion.

Not only was he fired, but the story behind his firing was far from flattering.

Evidently he was spending all his time working the phones, networking and trolling for another head coaching job, while virtually ignoring his actual job. Predictably, the Ravens' offense was the biggest joke in the NFL.

Snyder is dissatisfied with where the offense is going under Saunders, so he wants to hire this guy?! I'd rather have Norv Turner back, and that's saying a lot.

Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but I'm not optimistic.
