It won’t garner as much attention as the news about Kellen Moore, Jon Kitna, or Jason Garrett’s lack of a contract extension, but on Friday Dallas hired Carlos Polk as their new assistant special teams coach. Polk replaces Doug Colman who was let go after one year.
Special teams was a source of much dread for the Cowboys in 2018, as the unit took a huge step back under first year special teams coordinator Keith O’Quinn. In 2017 under Rich Bisaccia, Dallas ranked seventh in special teams DVOA, but this past season they regressed to 23rd in the NFL in DVOA.
