"Alex" coached 25 football seasons at Eisenhower, winning 105 games. He was five-time Macon County Coach of the Year (four with Eisenhower), and was selected for the Illinois Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 1989.

Bob Matheson, Alex's contemporary as the MacArthur High School football coach, said of Alexander: "He has a great knack for making kids work hard and like it. And what a sense of humor to go along with it. He has drive, effort, the whole package. That makes him a great motivator and a great coach. Kids love playing for him."
