They actually promoted him to Assistant Head Coach in 2004.
We had arguably the worst offensive line in the NFL through the 1990's. How did Paul Alexander keep his job?
Paul has been the OL coach for 23 consecutive seasons.
During that time, he's been saved by the performances of Willie Anderson, Levi Jones, Andrew Whitworth, Rich Braham, Eric Steinbach, and Kevin Zeitler.
Now there is no elite OL player for him to hide behind.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!
