See: Bill Belichick and Albert Haynesworth.  I can find many other examples if you want, but that one proves my point pretty well.

So according to you, evaluation and development are a part of coaching, but don't apply to Paul Alexander's evaluation and development of Mathis. Because Mathis wasn't motivated. Even though motivating players is also a coach's job.

So how did other coaches motivate Mathis to get All Pro production from him while Alexander got "no big change"?

Haynesworth was a former two time All Pro 30 y/o 10 year NFL veteran already in a state of decline during the previous two seasons entering what would be his final season in the NFL. At best, that is a piss poor comparison.
