Bengals offensive line coach Paul Alexander has spent enough time as a CCM piano student that he's successfully translated that with a handful of performances, while acquiring what he's learned and implementing that into coaching. On March 19 at the View Cucina restaurant at Walnut Hills, Alexander will put his talents on display with local musicians and five celebrity chefs, benefiting the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

After spending two seasons with the New York Jets as the team's tight end coach, Paul Alexander followed head coach Bruce Coslet to Cincinnati in 1994. One year later in 1995 Alexander became Cincinnati's offensive line coach where he's coach ever since, during which time his offensive lines set two franchise records for the least amount of sacks allowed (17 in 2007, 21 in 2005). When head coach Marvin Lewis arrived in 2003, Alexander was promoted as the team's assistant head coach.

I wish Alexander would focus more on becoming a good coach instead of playing the piano.

Look I’ve been lurking for years. And you guys are crazy. Maybe it is my listening to sirius nfl channel all day everyday. But the god father of the nfl Gil Brandt or Pat Kirwan saying Paul Alexander is a very very well respected coach. And very very good at what he does. Look at who he has been givin to coach…. other than Whit and smith we don’t go after oline guys ofte. Mostly 5th round and later. He does what he can with what he has.

Its not so much
that he can’t coach for me its more that he won’t put our best lineman on the field. Guys that have had to come in for a game or two and proven they are the better lineman and yet he wont give them the starting job
