Frank Pollack

The Dallas Cowboys promoted Frank Pollack to offensive line coach in 2015 following the departure of Bill Callahan and on the wave of a tremendously successful 2014 season.Pollack presided over a dominant offensive line in 2016 that was named the NFL's Built Ford Tough Offensive Line of the Year and produced three Pro Bowlers and All-Pros in Tyron Smith (fourth), Travis Frederick (third) and Zack Martin (third). Collectively, the unit set the tone for an offensive rushing attack that produced the league's leading rusher in rookie Ezekiel Elliott (1,631 yards) and finished second in rushing yards-per-game (149.8), rushing touchdowns (24) and rushing first downs (142). Behind the line's protection, Dak Prescott was named the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year as he smashed numerous club rookie quarter- back records including passing yards (3,667), passing touchdowns (23), completion percentage (67.8) and tied the NFL record for wins by a rookie quarterback, finishing with a 13-3 record and the NFC East crown. The Cowboys offense was one-of-five NFL teams in 2016 to surpass 6,000 net yards and rank fifth in total offense (376.7 yards-per-game) while notching the third-most yards (6,027) in a season in team history. Setting the tone of the offense, the offensive line helped the unit finish second in the NFL in time of possession (31:41) while adding 35 drives of five-or-more minutes - 30 for scores - both tops in the league.Before joining the pro ranks, Pollack began his coaching career at his alma mater, Northern Arizona, in 2005 as the co-offensive line coach. He was promoted to the offensive line coach in 2006, when the NAU offense led the conference in scoring (34.4) and passing (267.2) and finished second in rushing (137.9).Pollack was a sixth-round draft choice by the San Francisco 49ers in 1990. He played two years for the 49ers, 1990-91, before moving to Denver, where he played from 1992-93. He finished his playing career back with the 49ers from 1994-98, having played 90 career games and helping San Francisco to a Super Bowl championship in 1994.
