The reality is, and this has been discussed ad nauseam on Sirius NFL radio, Offensive Line play has sucked all across the league the last couple of years. Due to the constraints of the NFLPA agreement, there are only about 7 padded practices where the Oline coach can actually coach. The rest of it is shorts football. It's not just hindering the Bengals line, it is working against every team. Players are going to have to take it upon themselves to find coaches in the off season to improve. So would I like a better line, sure, but I'm not sure replacing Pollack is some magic bullet like some of you seem to.
There's a few factors at play.... college offenses don't prepare OL like they used to, what you mentioned, and the pass rushers they block have gotten way beyond them in athletic ability.
