When the Dallas Cowboys fired offensive line coach Paul Alexander, almost no one was disappointed besides possibly Paul Alexander and family. Once a strength, the Cowboys offensive line had fallen into mediocrity, capable of great play at times, then poor play at others. The inconsistency was maddening. Many blamed Alexander and his newfangled techniques of line play.
Even Alexander recently noted that getting his techniques across to the Cowboys players was not exactly happening in the timely manner he would probably want, noting that some of the players “didn’t want to mess with it.”
Some of the Cowboys offensive linemen admitted that now that Alexander is gone, they will likely go back to their old techniques, for the most part.
