Seems the ship has sailed on PA coaching with any NFL team.

PA has alluded to this in both his Twitter account and his Zoom clinics. Finally the words of his replacement confirmed as such.

“”Colombo, 40, is finding a balance between returning to familiar techniques from years past while not completely erasing what the team has been doing under Alexander. Alexander is known for a high-hand, low-inside hand technique that emphasized linemen becoming a stabber/striker over a puncher, which some of the players didn't want to "mess with," Alexander said recently.””

One more point, the “game” has not passed PA by. Quite the contrary, he is spot-on with the trends in O-line play and amongst O-line coaches and players (including our beloved Willie Anderson and Andrew Whitworth) he remains enormously respected. Pity that some on this board loudly proclaim PA was garbage.

If he's so spot on with the trends and such a brilliant mind, why does that not jive with the results?

1. Pathetic rushing efficiency by his lines for almost 2 decades.
2. Spotty at best pass blocking for the last decade.
3. All the players he pushed for in the draft recently were some of the worst linemen in franchise history.
4. He was swiftly fired by Dallas.
5. Now out of the league

The actual facts paint a far less rosy picture of Mr Piano Man.

It was Mallet. I believe it was Jay Gruden who said Mikey wanted Mallet.

Then when Kaepernick had his SB run, Mikey leaked a quote that he wanted Kaep.

Then when all the ish hit the fan with Kaep, it went back to being Mallet.
