At this time last season, coach Brian Billick had the Ravens close to clinching a playoff berth.
Now, instead of talking about winning a Super Bowl, he has to explain why he isn't worried about losing his job.
As the Ravens try to break a four-game losing streak in today's game against the San Diego Chargers, Billick said he is "confident" he will remain Ravens coach next season because of his solid relationship with owner Steve Bisciotti.
"He's about continuity," said Billick, whose coaching tenure is tied for the third longest in the NFL at nine seasons. "He doesn't want to be one of these organizations that experiences these ups and downs. Continuity is the key to that. He's wholly committed to it, and I'm appreciative of it."
The Ravens made a strong commitment to Billick after he guided them to a 13-3 regular-season mark in 2006, announcing that they signed him to a new four-year contract (which is believed to be worth $5 million a year).
