1st Step - Fire O-line Coach Paul Alexander just as they did Ken Zampese

1. The O-line melt down against the Steelers was the most glaring issue and Alexander is the Architect of that O-line.

2. If Alexander should slide under the Radar say after a Marvin firing right now only to have the next Head Coach saddled with Paul Alexander going forward then that New Coach may be in for trouble.

3. The O-line players themselves need some fresh eyes on their play and an O-line Coach that will want some New Personnel going forward.
A New Fire would be lit under O-line players to save their jobs instead of being Alexander's projects.

4. Marvin has won 2 of the last 3 games without Zampese and I let him have some more Rope to hang himself with so to speak. Fire him later in the season or let him finish this season out. Then make the Bigger Head Coaching change this offseason.

I’m on board with this for an additional reason: I don’t want to see Andy Dalton hurt and whenever he comes up limping it tears at me. I don’t want to see AJ McCarron hurt either — and I still can’t get that picture of Carson Palmer with the bloody face out of my mind.
