"They stood around killing grass"

So where was all this criticism when Alexander was here?

Never heard a negative comment from Alexander despite seeing the offensive line get worse and worse as time went on.

Sure, we can talk about the offensive line and how great it was with the likes of Whitworth, Boling, and Zeitler. Because it was.
But then we drafted Bodine.
And we've had our players call Alexander out, such as Boling. I mean, when you have a PLAYER saying those things about you, and no one denies it, you know you have a problem.
Oh, and don't forget that Ogbuehi, Fisher, and Bodine were all players that Alexander wanted.

Remember Nate Livings and how Alexander continued to choose him over Evan Mathis? Even though the Bengals were 6-1 when Mathis started over Livings, but yet Alexander CONTINUED to put him in there?

Yes, Alexander had some successful seasons. As did Bratkowski.
But Alexander never modified his coaching style to his player's strengths.

The main reason the Cowboys fired Alexander was because there was regression and he was making them do things that wasn't their strength.

Remember how many people brought up a lack of nastiness from our offensive line? Guess what was another knock on Paul Alexander in Dallas? Lack of aggression and nastiness.

Alexander needed to go when he was in Cincinnati, and it's not a surprise the Cowboys got rid of him either.
