Cowboys hire OL Coach Paul Alexander

[OmerV]

Slow down!!!!! We dont want to be winning games all at once by hiring competent coordinators. We like to spread out wins 2-3 seasons at a time.

We are talking about the O-Line coach, not a coordinator, and please explain why you think it would be easy to hire a coordinator (or O-Line coach) from one of the playoff teams to come and do the same job in Dallas. And, by the way, in case you aren't aware, none of those guys are even available while their teams are still in the playoffs, and even after the playoffs they are unavailable if they are under contract unless their existing team provides permission.

And the Bengals links grow...

Jerry hiring his own coaching staff.
What could go wrong?
Did Lacewell sign off on this selection?

Remember the last time Jerry hired a former Bengal---Bruce Coslet in 2002?
But at least with the debacle of the 2002 season, Campo got axed, & Parcells was brought on board.

Maybe this is a precursor for Garrett to get fired after next season.

Cable was the one I thought was the riskier hire, though I would have been fine with either.

Why so much higher on him than Alexander?

Simple Idgit. We're high on anyone that we don't hire, or anyone some other team hires, or some fans are. Same fans are probably higher on players we don't select in the draft. It's called "the grass is always greener".

Things to like about Alexander. Jeremy Hill is tied for the lead in rushing TD's from 2014-2016 (29) so his O-lines can block for the run game. Also the Bengals have been in the top 10 for sacks allowed for four of the past seven years including 21 in 2016 and only 17 in 2017. Want more? How about 14 seasons out of 22 when Bengals RB's ran for over 1000 yards. So his O-lines have been solid pass and run blockers.

Good hire based on history. We'll see how he does with 3 pro bowlers and 4 #1 draft picks on the O-line. Not to mention a work horse RB and a very mobile QB

Some fans should do their home work before making uninformed posts

The same people complaining about this move are the same ones who have no idea who this guy is or what his resume is.

 

[Risen Star]

So let me get this straight. The fired Pollack gets hired by the team that fired Alexander that was hired by....us.

It's an agreement the teams have to swap assistants periodically while keeping their head coach.

You scratch my back. I scratch yours.

Go Cowboys. And Bengals.

I know who he is. I have his album. It's lovely.

Well, both teams basically have the same head coach!

 

[CATCH17]

Im just tired of Bengals and Lions myself but whatever.

Bring them on I guess. We'll just get Bengal and Lion results and wonder why i'm sure.

mmmm hmmm better known as the perpetual whiners

They should read his resume. Pretty impressive. More impressive than Pollacks for sure. Of course he has to live up to the resume but it's a start. Welcome Coach Alexander

 

[Donut]

Should be alright.

If you expect that, you shouldn't be disappointed when it happens then right. You can come back after next year with a big old "told you so".

Unfortunately I watched a lot of Bengals games this year because I had Joe Mixon in my lineup. He had one 100 yd game. I've been saying all year they have the worst running game I'ver seen. What am I missing, does their O-Line suck?
Production was horrible with Mixon

 

[foofighters]

Also, your taste in music is awful

Lol, I listen to everything. But I do appreciate the feedback!!!

 

[unionjack8]

Solari is better

maybe it was mixon.

 

[Brooksey]

maybe it was mixon.

Maybe..but I never saw a hole, he was bottled up at the line almost immediately..every single time. They also have Hill and Bernard. This is one of the worst producing running game's in the NFL and has to be close to last in pass protection. Andy Dalton was killed all year.
