I remember Pollack being divisive on here when we hired him. I loved his resume, but there was a lot of "what makes Pollack so special?" going on back then. Then in his first year we had our best yards per carry since 2000...which is incredible. Just went to show how much Paul Alexander was holding our run game back.
Problem is, we didn't run the ball that much. If Pollack can get similar results this year, and Zac is more willing to balance the offense, we might be able to do some things. This team has always won more games when we run the football. If we keep throwing 40+ times, we're going to wind up 5-12.
Of course, with Burrow, all these WRs, and Zac's track record, it's hard to envision a very balanced offense.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
