On January 28, 2001, Billick won Super Bowl XXXV as the Ravens' head coach in a 34–7 victory over the New York Giants.

Brian Billick was born in Fairborn, Ohio and grew up in the city of Redlands, California with five siblings.

[2][3] Billick was teammates with future Major League Baseball player Julio Cruz on the school's basketball team.

[4] Billick started his college career playing linebacker at the United States Air Force Academy.

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.

Billick became the second head coach in Baltimore Ravens history on January 20, 1999, when he was appointed to replace Ted Marchibroda.

Billick felt this approach would help them reach that goal, and went so far as to fine Tony Siragusa for violating the rule.

The Ravens took advantage of their vaunted defense, which allowed an NFL record-low 165 points in the regular season (for a point differential of 168; the Ravens also led the league in turnover differential at +23) during the playoffs to advance to Super Bowl XXXV against the New York Giants.

Baltimore finished 7–9 and missed the playoffs in 2002, but bounced back in 2003 with a 10–6 record and the franchise's first division title; the key game of this season was a 44–41 overtime win over the Seattle Seahawks in which the Ravens scored 20 unanswered points from the 10:14 mark of the fourth quarter through overtime; the win launched the then 5–5 Ravens into the division title.

Baltimore, however, lost to the eventual Super Bowl XLI champion Indianapolis Colts, 15–6, in the Divisional Round.

[17] For his contributions to the organization, including leading them to their first Super Bowl victory, Billick would eventually be inducted into the Baltimore Ravens Ring of Honor on September 29, 2019.

[18] Billick coached the Team Kai squad of college football all-stars in the 2022 Hula Bowl,[19] winning the game, 21–20.

He was later hired as an offensive analyst and advisor to the head coach for the Arizona State Sun Devils football program.

[22] On NFL Network, Billick appeared alongside Dennis Green on The Coaches Show, as well as Sterling Sharpe and Brian Baldinger on Thursday and Friday editions of Playbook, the ultimate NFL “Xs and Os” program utilizing the same “all 22” game film that coaches and players use to preview upcoming games.
