That said, we know what Pollack did in Cincy before that mess in NY. We knew what he did in Dallas before we hired him initially.

So...we have reason to believe what happened in NY was a fluke. Just as what happened to Zim in ATL was a fluke. I know I knew better than to judge Zim for that.

One bad stop shouldn't cancel out a good/great career. Especially when the situation is a total mess.

Do we? He inherited an already great OL in Dallas, though. We never saw him ever develop anyone or do work. You or I could have been a good OL coach in Dallas in 2015.

Heading into 2015....
Tyron Smith (2011 1st rounder): Pro Bowl 2013/2014, 2nd Team All-Pro 2013, 1st Team All-Pro 2014
Travis Frederick (2013 1st rounder): Pro Bowl 2014, 2nd Team All-Pro 2014
Zack Martin (2014 1st rounder): Pro Bowl 2014, 1st Team All-Pro 2014

So when Frank Pollack became the OL Coach for the Cowboys in 2015, he inherited two 1st Team All-Pros and a 2nd Team All-Pro on his OL. All young. Even the other two guys might not be Pro Bowlers, but Doug Free (79.3 PFF in 2014) and Ronald Leary (79.9 PFF in 2014) were anything but scrubs. Both would have been the highest rated guys on the Bengals OL. Lol

You give me those 5 guys at that time and I will be a great OL coach, too. Heck, DeMarco Murray was the OPoY, Tony Romo and Jason Witten were Pro Bowlers, and Dez Bryant was an All-Pro... all in 2014 before Pollack took over.

Pollack is Paul Guenther to Bill Callahan's Mike Zimmer in this scenario.
