claptonrocks Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Well Rex Ryan will find a job as DC quickly... should the Bengals pursue him or is Henderson the guy that Lewis expects to turn the D into a productive unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's more of a 3-4 guy. That said, I'd take my chances. I love how aggressive he is with playcalling. I've read in the past that he's considered a future HC, so the question is, will he get that opportunity now (doubt it, given how the Ravens did), or will he go somewhere as a DC to a team that has a good chance to do some damage? Even though the Bengals had a sub-par year, they do have some good ingredients on offense, and some good young players on D (Geathers, the secondary).

BengalsOwn Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Wonder if Marvin will come up as a possible replacement for Billick? I'm sure some of the vets in Baltimore would welcome that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whodey1971 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 From Fox Sports... Despite his insistence that his job was safe, the Brian Billick era in Baltimore is over. The team fired their head coach Monday, FOXSports.com has learned, capping an extremely disappointing season. This comes one day after FOX Sports reported that [b]the players [/b]and other employees [b]informed team owner Steve Biscotti that Billick had completely lost the locker room and could not win them back[/b]. Billick was hired as an offensive guru but during his tenure it was his defenses that won for the Ravens, especially their Super Bowl title. Over time Billick was unable to get his QBs to star and his offenses stalled year in and year out. Earlier this year he proclaimed that he had been given the vote of confidence from Biscottit but that was never confirmed and was obviously not true Translation... Ray Ray was tired of the offense not getting the job done and wanted a new coach. Also - Agree 100% on Ryan. If he is avaialble....get him now!

LudwigVan Kubrick Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Billick as OC and Ryan as DC.... THAT would be an offseason shake up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinci1fan1 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I doubt they will fire Ryan because he is one heck of a coach but hey if they do that then get him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claptonrocks Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Ive read where the 49's are going to pursue Mike Martz as their OC ...could Mike Nolan be intersted in Rex Ryan as the DC? maybe.... they have ties. Would Parcells be interested in Ryan as the HC.. Ryan interviewed for the Charger job so his name is out there..... Mike Singletary for the HC in Baltimore?... stern just respected by the players in Baltimore just thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ@w Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 No way Billick works for Marvin due to Marvin worked for Billick. Not going to happen and keep dreaming about all those coaching changes. It is not going to happen. We are talking MFB and money here! Where have you been? If a big shake up happens, I will, I will........well, I will be amazed to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's already all over the place in the media. One day he says expect no major changes, the next he says we need to blow the whole thing up. One day he says we've done a terrible job coaching/preparing this team the next he says the problem is Player A is too worried about what Player B is making/immature and unprofessional, off the field he's been better but on the field and in the film room studying he's been slacking off.

Khatmandude Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 What if Marvin takes the Baltimore job, then we hire Billick as our HC? Then Billick can bring Rex Ryan with him.
