I tire of the Bengals math of adding by subtraction, as was said when we got rid of Dillon or Spikes.  Getting rid of Alexander is not hiring scouts, nor does it improve our scouting one damn bit.  Coaches fired in no way puts us miles ahead in scouting.....SO, AGAIN,  WILL BENGALS HIRE SCOUTS....There is no adding by subtraction....There is only hire scouts or don't.  If they don't hire scouts, then there is no new commitment to Super Bowl, that is just talk, which is cheap. 

To be fair in regards to Dillon, the Bengals still ran the ball really damn well with Rudi for the 3-4 years after Dillon was shipped off. And Rudi was a lot cheaper to keep around compared to Dillon. So it really wasn't a loss from a production standpoint.

This is me speculating, but I think Alexander has a LOT of input in which OL the Bengals signed/drafted or didn't. With him gone, that influence is now shifted to someone else.
The Bengals might not need more scouts when it comes to being able to scout quality OL, just needed to remove the stubborn chief who refused to change his ways.

However, I do agree in more scouts for the sake of not forcing the coaches to invest so much time into a scouting role and instead let them focus on coaching, plus the added benefit of having more people who can actually watch more games live rather than have to go back and watch tape months after.
