Brian Billick says that reports about his contract extension are incorrect. He says he is under contract beyond 2008, which would indicate that's not on the whitehot seat going into next season. The Ravens have a policy of not talking about a coaches contract, which is sorta ruined if Billick ... talks about it.

Regardless of his contract length, I think Billick needs to get Baltimore to the playoffs next year again to keep his job. Wtih half the league changing coaches in the last two years, most of the NFL coaches have reasonable job security. My top five coaches on the hot seat would be ...

1. Tom Coughlin
2. Romeo Crennel
3. Jon Gruden
4. Jack Del Rio
5. Brian Billick
