A troubled situation became even more bizarre yesterday, when coach Brian Billick said he was coming back next season, but no one in the organization could confirm he had spoken with owner Steve Bisciotti. Billick has three years remaining on his contract, which is reportedly worth $5 million a season. But this season of great expectations has been a great disappointment, including a current team-record seven-game losing streak. Billick has been harshly criticized this season for his play-calling and time-management abilities, and rumors continue to circulate about club officials recently meeting with former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher, rumors those same officials deny. Billick is feeling the pressure. He has heard the rumors. He wants an endorsement from the owner.
