He just has not produced granted with losing teams until last year but real questions are out there, can he improve players or does it take a bunch of high picks like his stay in Dallas to be successful.  Totally fair evaluation.. this year is the year for him, with the talent we have if our oline does not have noticeable improvement we can't hang on to past accomplishments like we did with Alexander and I would hope you would agree that this year is really a vital year for pollack

The bold is the key part. He had absolute dog shit to work with in Cincy and NY. Any coach is only as good as his players.

Even the great Bill Callahan (Pollack’s mentor) - who’s widely regarded as one of the best OL coaches in the game had a unit that allowed 49 sacks last year (6th most in the league). It’s almost like you have to look at the context (QB’s, injuries, etc) to really judge what was going on or something.
