Billick inducted into Baltimore Ravens Ring of Honor

Former BYU tight end Brian Billick was inducted into the Baltimore Ravens Ring of Honor on Sunday, Sept. 29, during halftime of the Browns-Ravens football game at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. 

During his nine-year tenure as head coach of the Ravens from 1999 to 2007, Billick amassed a record of 85-67, reached the playoffs four times, won three division championships and led the Ravens to victory in Super Bowl XXXV. Billick retired from coaching in 2008 and has since become a successful analyst for various networks

Billick played three seasons at BYU from 1974 to 1976. As a senior he was named first-team All-WAC and received All-America honorable mention by the Associated Press. He was later taken in the 11th round of the 1977 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers.

In 1978, Billick returned to BYU as a graduate assistant coach under legendary Hall of Fame coach LaVell Edwards. He later had college coaching stints at San Diego State, Utah State and Stanford before joining the NFL coaching ranks as the tight end coach with the Minnesota Vikings in 1992. After two seasons, he became the Vikings’ offensive coordinator from 1994-1998 and was honored as the Assistant Coach of the Year in 1998 by the Pro Football Writers of America before being named the head coach of the Ravens in 1999. 

Billick joined former Raven players Ed Reed, Todd Heap, Ray Lewis, Jamal Lewis, Matt Stover, Jonathan Ogden, Peter Boulware, Michael McCrary and owner Art Modell in the Baltimore Ravens Ring of Honor.
