Seriously though, he's coached a lot of pro bowlers or near pro bowlers, and made some near silk purses out of sows ears, so I don't see how people say he is a terrible coach. I agree the line is struggling this year, and I guess all of us would sacrifice a dozen donuts to see Andre Smith's fat jiggling in slow motion at right tackle again, but I am not going to write the guy off over one season.
Paul Alexander has been OL coach since 1995, or 21 seasons (this season would make 22).
In those 21 seasons, the Bengals have had TWO offensive lineman be Pro Bowlers. Andrew Whitworth and Willie Anderson. That is less than one per DECADE of coaching OL.
I'm not aware what marks someone a "near" Pro Bowler.
