Paul Alexander is unique among O-line coaches in the league in that he has NEVER had a single high round draft pick flop.
He also had an All Pro OG sitting the bench behind Nate Livings. So if evaluating and developing talent is an important part of coaching, what happened there?
You're going to answer Mathis got fat. Still in better shape than Andre Smith.
You're going to answer Mathis got lazy. Motivating players is a part of coaching.
You're going to claim Alexander coached Livings and Andrews to huge contracts. If he coached them as successfully as you always claim, they wouldn't have been abject failures. They weren't good with the Bengals and they weren't good with their new teams. Difference being, their new teams didn't continue to play them once it was painfully obvious they weren't good. And they damn sure didn't give Andrews top 5 OT money. Only a lawyer would argue the scouting failures of Dallas and Philadelphia as a measure of Paul Alexander's success.
