"Yeah, I talked to Mike about it. I go straight to the top. Mike wanted to talk about Jackson, and obviously I gave him (Carman) a strong endorsement and I think he's going to be terrific" - Paul Alexander

I guess you must have missed that tid bit when you put every piece of Bengals information (mainly assumptions) in that all knowing head of yours.
I agree that Fred was wrong when he said Alexander had 'no influence' because I think Mike values his opinion, but it's not like they took Carman just because Alexander gave him the seal of approval. They also got input / endorsements from people like Big Willie, Duke M and coaches at Clemson.
Also, as Alexander said, he gave Mike a list of 25 guys...and it was Mike who singled out Carman.
