No. When you get your team to the playoffs, you should stay.

Given that he got an extension just last night, to fire him now would be rather stupid.

He made stupid play calling right before halftime instead throwing the ball down the field.This is the playoffs its all or nothing and there uis no tommorow.I think Biscotti is a weenie cause he wont fire him unlike the orioles owner is a clown cause he couldnt build a team. Biscotti is a weenie he doesnt have the willpower of guts to fire people. You have to fire people in order to make business suceessful.Look at Donald Trump for example.He fires people every week cause they make mistakes. You cant keep making mistakes in the NFL year after year like this.Look another businessman who fire people George Steinbrenner! The reason George didnt fire joe torre cause the NY Media pressured him not to. Thats the only thing saved Joe Torre is that NY Media who loves him so much.But the Baltimore press isnt as tough like ther NY press is.Look the NY Media went after Tom Coughlin. And they went after the Mets manager as well when the Mets lost to the cardinals.Baltimore hasnt had a tough sportsguy since Chris Thomas back in the 80s.This guy chewed out Bob Irsay and Joe Altobelli. Chris Thomas will let you know when you suck at ownership,Coach or as a manager. Chris Thomas even chewed out ex orioles GM Hank Peters. But Baltimore reporters need to start getting tough now. Especialy start lashing out at Sam Perlozzo,Brian Billick,Peter Angelos and Steve Biscotti.

The Ravens went 9-2 after he took over as play-caller. Why fire him? He was the biggest reason they made the playoffs at all, and got a bye week. Remember, before he took over, they had barely beaten Cleveland, lost to Denver and Carolina, shut out Tampa Bay, and barely beaten San Diego. There's one team I'm missing here, and I don't feel like looking it up.
The difference between the Giants and the Ravens is that the Ravens went 13-3 this year, and got a first-round bye. Coughlin has been criticized by his players, and basically everyone associated with the team. Billick turned a team around and got them a bye in the playoffs. Why should the media "lash out" at him more than they do now? Mike Preston, in the Sun, blamed the Ravens playoff loss on Billick, because he stopped running the ball. However, he also "blames" the 13-3 season on Billick.
BTW, when you spell Bisciotti like that, you're talking about this:

I voted as a non-Ravens fan. I voted no, he seems like a pretty good coach.
