It is, yes.
He should be able to coach players to perform at least to solid level.
Not everyone has the ability to do that though, but that's on the team (with likely a lot of input from him) to identify players who have the right traits to develop into good players.
Go back even to his DAL days, and the only good OL he drafted was La'el Collins.
But La'el Collins really didn't ascend until after Pollack departed DAL.
One thing Pollack has done though is he's definitely proven he can improve the run game.
He did that both in 2018 and in 2021.
Pass protection has been the weak spot.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
