Cowboys fire O-line coach Paul Alexander, promote Marc Colombo

FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys have parted ways with offensive line coach Paul Alexander and promoted Marc Colombo to the position.

Alexander was named the offensive line coach in the offseason after a 24-year stint with the Cincinnati Bengals, replacing Frank Pollack, who replaced Alexander in Cincinnati. Colombo has been the assistant offensive line coach since 2016 after a 10-year career as a player, including six with the Cowboys, five as the starting right tackle.

It is the first in-season move Jason Garrett has made on his coaching staff since taking over the job full-time in 2011.
