In Frank Pollack, message remains same for Cowboys line

IRVING, Texas -- Jason Garrett liked the fact that the Dallas Cowboys will have continuity on their coaching staff in 2015, and that includes the loss of offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Bill Callahan to the Washington Redskins.
Confused?
The Cowboys replaced Callahan with Frank Pollack, who has been the assistant offensive line coach the last two seasons. In 2013 Pollack was deeply involved with the offensive line when Callahan was the playcaller. With Callahan in the coaches' booth during games, Pollack was in charge of the line on the field.
The voice might be different but the message will be the same. With the success the Cowboys had in 2014 running the ball, the Cowboys want to keep everything the same with a young but talented offensive line, led by Pro Bowlers Tyron Smith, Travis Frederick and Zack Martin.
From 2007-11, Pollack was an assistant offensive line coach with the Houston Texans. He was the Oakland Raiders line coach in 2012 before joining the Cowboys, working with Callahan, who coached Pollack at Northern Arizona.
“I think his relationship with Bill was really positive, positive for our football team but positive for each of those guys,” Garrett said. “They worked well together. I think Frank learned a lot from Bill about some different things. Not only did it help him, but it was a mutually beneficial relationship. All of that stuff -- his experience as a player, his experience as a coach, the expertise that he has. He’s a really good communicator. He’s got command of the room. He’s got command of the field. I think he has tremendous credibility with the players. They listen to him. They try what he’s asking them to do. I think he’s just been a really good coach for us.”
