Frank Pollack back? - ClarkHarris4Prez - 01-08-2024
Has there been any word on him coming back? This was his 3rd year back and that’s the length of most of these assistant contracts I assumed….So I was HOPING we would move on since the guy has shown ZERO ability to coach up our draft picks and our line has continued to be bad every year, despite a lot of decent talent.
Seriously, how do they think they can sell keeping him to this fanbase? My God how stubborn are they?! It’s so frustrating. They are SO CLOSE to being a yearly top team, yet they just refuse to take the final couple steps that the top teams take. Like keeping a position coach year after year that has cost this team 2 super bowls already.
I hope someone here can tell me they’ve heard something that could give us hope he is gone?

Zac said today he expects all the staff back unless they get promotions.

If they re-sign him expect a shit OL and running game to continue. Simple as that. I wish the Bengals were as stubborn re-signing their top players. We would still have Bates and be keeping Tee..

Frank Pollack either needs to teach different blocking schemes or be out the door. It’s not just pass protection, either. The run blocking is absolutely abysmal. Joe Mixon had ONE 100 yard rushing game all year and that was yesterday against Cleveland’s second- and third-string cheerleaders.

It’s enough already. He’s gotta go.

Completely agree Pollack needs to go

This is a good example of where the FO loyalty can hurt the team's performance.

Pollack needs to go.He’s had his chance.Obviously,he’s not qualified.Fire him please.

Same Ol Bengals.... kidding somewhat. Still a lot of in-house work to be done.
RE: Frank Pollack back? - jj22 - 01-08-2024
Great start to the offseason…..
We’ll see how it plays out tho. It’s early.
RE: Frank Pollack back? - michaelsean - 01-08-2024
Can’t think of one player who has become better. Not regressing is a win here.
RE: Frank Pollack back? - sandwedge - 01-09-2024
He will be back
RE: Frank Pollack back? - Truck_1_0_1_ - 01-09-2024
He'll be back.

While I'd have no problem if we got a new OL coach, Duke and Potts might want to listen a little more to Pollack in the draft room. Apparently he was banging the table to draft Creed Humphrey. He also wanted to draft Trey Smith later in the draft. Both guys have been starters in KC since they were drafted.
Our 2021 picks of Carmen, Smith, and Hill combined this season for ONE snap. It was on ST.

I heard the same thing. Which goes along with what was being reported as far as Carman being Mike Brown’s guy.

That makes me think of something that former Bengals scout Greg Seamon talked about before the 2023 draft. He mentioned that when the scouts and coaches didn't agree on a player, the player usually flopped or didn't take off like they hoped.

Jim McNally is the OL guy in Cincy. The OL evaluations go through him.

Well maybe they shouldn’t…
I see he’s been here since 2012. Which is right around the time we started sucking at drafting OL. Kevin Zeitler is pretty much the only good pick during that timeframe. That’s horrendous.

Clint Boiling too but your point stands.
Don't get it twisted though McNally is an amazing coach. I had a couple opportunities to go to his seminars and met him once. I love his Twitter feed its all football and he teaches from his bathroom. Lol.

Sounds about right. Certainly was the case with John Ross.
