How did Paul Alexander Keep His Job Through The 90's???

I can see how Paul Alexander kept his job in the 1990s because the coaching in all areas was incompetent and he looked like an equal. What befuddles me is why he was retained when Marvin Lewis was hired. Putting it in medical terms, you don't remove all but one tumor if you want the patient to improve. You remove all of them.

The big difference I see is talent; guys like Rich Braham, Levi Jones, Willie Anderson, and Andrew Whitworth couldn't be held back much, even by Paul Alexander.
