Im fine with this. Ive already attached myself to the Billick train.
I have from the start. I am just getting a vibe he will not be interviewed.
Peter King says the Billick rumors are true, but I am not seeing it anywhere else.

There is going to be a lot of misinformation over the coming days and weeks. Let's not overreact at every little news blurb.
i want a coach that wants to be here.
The Vikings made the playoffs during six of the seven seasons (1992–1998) that Billick spent with the team, and set several offensive records in the process. In 1998, Minnesota set a then-NFL record for most points scored in a season (556) (which has since been broken by the 2007 Patriots), and set a team record with 41 touchdown passes.
I really am warming to Billick, another coach like Fisher and Gruden with a large layer of "fail" between now and his glory days with Baltimore as the HC and before that with the explosive MN offense as their OC. I think that the perspective gained from a broadcasting studio overview would help a smart guy like him not to repeat the same miscues. He actually wants the job, would work well with Nolan and hopefully find an OC who can replicate the early Culpecker Moss years in the Land Of Lakes. I think he'd be more appreciative of the opportunity at long last and unlike be less burned by others' decisions and as a result make less demands for significant control.
So much for everyone here who kept saying "but no one can outbid Ross". Money doesn't matter to these coaches, it's about heart, especially proven ones like Fisher. He's going to be a Ram soon, it doesn't matter if Ross offers 3-4 million more.ut
One of the things that put me into the Billick camp was his proactive nature in addressing team issues. It was only a few years ago, and the year before he was fired, that he saw his team was having issues on the offensive end. He quickly fired his OC, Jim Fassel, and took over the job of calling plays. With an old Steve McNair, he led the Ravens to a 13-3 record, earned a first round bye and lost in the playoffs to the eventual super bowl champ Colts. He has his faults like any other coach, but he is smart and seems adaptive to change whether it be on the offensive end or defensive end
As I have said from the start, Fisher is not coming to Miami...next.
Let's keep the 3-4 concept anyways. Get an offensive guy or I have to be honest, the more I read about Mike Pettine I like.
one thing people need to think about, where these coaches go will impact the draft for instance, Fisher wants a QB in play not find one hence Miami is not on many HC list and that will allow them to trade the #2 pick or draft something else which pushes RG3 down some.
You are 50 years old, why would you come to a **** hole organization that can't find 1 QB in 15 yrs compared to one that has Manning/Luck, Bradford, etc?
