	Sources: Ravens fire Billick after disappointing year by Jay Glazer 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 the players and other employees informed team owner Steve Biscotti that Billick had completely lost the locker room and could not win them back. 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.

Can anyone confirm this?

Can't say I'd be surprised.

Just saw it on ESPN bottomline, glad they came to there senses.

It was time the Ravens went in a different direction. Billick might've kept his job if the Ravens didn't essentially roll over and die after the New England game. So I can't say i'm surprised if this is indeed the case.

It's not Billick's fault half the team was hurt. I would have taken offensive play calling duties from him but not fired him. Oh well.
