The Cincinnati Bengals have finally made a move fans will actually agree with.
According to Jim Owczarski of the Cincinnati Enquirer, the team is parting ways with long-time offensive line coach Paul Alexander.
This was almost certainly the kind of thing Marvin Lewis wanted when he decided to return to the Bengals on a two-year contract extension. More control over his staff and the ability to make player personnel decisions are something he’s never had full control of, as Mike Brown often likes to have a say in these things.
That’s how Alexander has managed to be with the Bengals seemingly as long as Brown has been the owner, having opened his tenure in 1994 with one season as tight ends coach before eventually moving to coach the offensive line.
