Brian Billick??? Wow. Why would he want to do this to himself? I guess he has the coaching bug badly.
You have to know how some coaches think. They are a different breed. Lovie Smith went from the Bears to Illinois. Todd Monken went from the NFL to UGA. Herm Edwards. On and on.
It was never about money or anything like that for me. I turned down HS and club jobs and went down to work with some rec leagues instead.
Sometimes you get the urge to coach a certain team for whatever reason because you see something in them and you feel like you can do some great things there.
You have to admit ASU is a team loaded with mostly 3 star guys but they are overachievers. They are salty and play with attitude especially on defense. Last years team was top 2 in Pac 12 total defense I believe.
The NFL team ASU reminds me most of? Baltimore Ravens. Just Ok on offense nasty on defense. So what team did Brian Billick coach? The Baltimore Ravens. Perfect fit.
