Next man up
As of this posting, eight hours have passed since news broke of Brian Billick's firing, and it's about time we started indiscriminately and irresponsibly throwing names around as potential replacements.
Well, not all irresponsibly. Not to scoop my own column in tomorrow's paper, but I voted for Rex Ryan.
Other names tossed around in various venues include:
* Bill Cowher
* Marty Schottenheimer
* Jason Garrett
* Mike Singletary
* Kirk Ferentz
* Charlie Weis - ha ha! Just kidding.
Seriously, throw your own suggestions in. Or say who you prefer from the names mentioned above.
Have a happy and safe new year. See you and the Ravens' new coach in 2008.

Don Banks mentioned the OC from NE and I've also heard Pete Carroll.

Cowher or Ryan

Bill Cowher, if they can lure him out of retirement. Clearly the best choice.

Ryan is horrible, I hope he is fired too!

Josh McDaniels or Jason Garrett. This down deserves to see points put on the board and with Ozzie drafting the best player available, I see no reason why that doesn't happen.

I think Mike Martz would be the prudent choice moving forward

I hope we get Billick again. If not, let's get Marty.

I like Bill Cowher he will certainly bring discapline and a offensive. If Cinncinati fires Marvin Lewis get him him yesterday. I like Mike Singletary, also i think Joe Philbin Offensive Coordinator for Green Bay would be a good pick.

How about Norm Chow?

Cowher or Ryan please. No others.
