Part of his problem was that, in the year they won the SB, Billick played the "Everyone hates us and it's us against the world. So F*** the world." Eventually, that just became a way to blame the team's shortcomings on someone else - the refs, the media, other teams, etc. It was never Billick's or his player's fault. Eventually, you could just see the players saying "hey, it's not my fault we suck, I'm a superstar".

Billick created a culture where personal accountability and team accountability ceased to exist. When things took a bad turn, instead of pulling together, the team fell apart and, as a team, the players just didn't have any heart. IMHO - that was all Billick.
