Here in town, we see the O-line for what is has been....yet outside of town, he is viewed as a "great coach"
Seriously, look at this:
One of the longest-tenured assistants of any stripe in the NFL, Alexander has been the Bengals’ offensive line coach since 1994, and added the title of Assistant Head Coach in 2003. He’s served under four different head coaches for the Bengals, and his lines have blocked for four different running backs with 1,000-yard seasons. Cincinnati’s line under Alexander has ranked among the top 10 in fewest sacks allowed totals in four of the last five NFL seasons, and it set franchise records for low quarterback takedowns in two different seasons before that. Alexander has gotten the job done with his front five through multiple personnel shifts, injuries, coaching philosophies, and schematic shifts in the league. At this point, he should be talked about in the same breath as legendary line coaches like Howard Mudd and Alex Gibbs.

From the list of Best Coaches.
What are we missing or what is the rest of the world missing?
Crazy shit man.
We aren't missing anything, these guys missed the fact his O-lineman are consistently terrible at run blocking and
that he puts his Lineman in terrible positions with his Zone Blocking Scheme. He picks players like Bodine who are
not ZBS Lineman and continually starts him in the middle of our Line to the team's detriment.
He starts Ogbuehi at RT and essentially throws the entire team's year down the drain.
He picks these players and puts them in bad positions consistently, moving Fisher all around the O-line, playing FB,
LT, RT and then expecting him to just be a natural. I mean it is just insane. Put on top of that according to Boling
he doesn't even coach his players up mid season...
Dude should of been fired like 10 years ago when the NFL left his style behind.
