One reason I cannot stomach reading anything written by that hack. Did he anoint this title by himself? Hobson’s knowledge is on par with what my wife’s football knowledge . Notice I don’t watch football with my wife because I cannot stand answering her questions

Unless you're talking about a different article, I think you misread that.
Quote:The Bengals have had only two line coaches since 1980. After one year as the Bengals tight ends coach in 1994, Alexander succeeded one of his O-line mentors in Jim McNally, the guru who coached Hall of Fame left tackle Anthony Munoz and the Super Bowl line of the late ‘80s that finished in the top five in NFL rushing five straight seasons that included No. 1 finishes in 1988-89.
Hobson works for the Bengals, so I'm not sure what people expect. If you consider the source Hobson provides some good information. To me, the amazing part of that story was something I'd never heard before, "Alexander was in charge of the run game."
I'd sure like to hear more about just what the heck that entailed. Where did his responsibilities end and the OC's responsibilities begin? How long has this been the situation? This sounds like a formula for a disjointed, discombobulated offense - particularly when you promote one of his peers to OC when he's got the title of Assistant Head Coach.
