A member of Adam Gase’s Jets staff has found a new job.
Frank Pollack, the Jets offensive line coach the last two seasons, was hired by the Cincinnati Bengals to the same position on Saturday. In addition to being Cincinnati’s offensive line coach, he will also be the run game coordinator.

Pollack served as the Jets’ offensive line coach for the last two seasons under Gase. Under Pollack’s direction, the Jets’ offensive line often looked porous.
In 2019, the Jets had the 31st ranked rushing attack, averaging just 78.6 yards per game on the ground. In pass protection, the Jets’ offensive line allowed 52 sacks, good for fourth-worst in the league.
This season the Jets offensive line played slightly better. The Jets improved in the running game, averaging 105.2 yards per game. New York’s rushing attacked ranked 23rd this year. In terms of sacks allowed, the Jets only gave up 43 sacks this season. They were 23rd in the league in that category.
Prior to joining the Jets in 2019, Pollack was Cincinnati’s offensive line coach in 2018. He’s also served as an offensive line coach for the Cowboys and Raiders.
