Pollack was a good hire once again.  Crazy you let him go when a new coach comes on board and after that new head coaches option fails miserably you bring back Pollack.  Pretty sure this wasnt Zac's call.   I like it though but we can't rely on Pollack to fix a pile of crap, and that's exactly what he has to work with.  

As far as the draft and free agency, I think the team thought if they could bring in enough guys who've played in Lou's scheme the defense will be ranked at least near 20th in the league.  As far as the offensive side, I think you're going to see 7 offensive picks and maybe 1 defensive pick in the draft.  This team has to get talent for JoeyB.  You have 2 good WR, the TE's are mehh, and Mixon is only a good runner if he has a good OL.  

I do think they've done some things well in FA.  However, they still need to keep on adding pieces.  I'll be curious to see if we keep adding in FA or wait until after the June 1st cuts.  

Pollack left on his own accord, from what I recall, both the FO and Zac wanted him to stay.

..... and Mixon is good when healthy. He ran behind a bad line the two years prior and had pretty good numbers, all things considered.
