Coaching career

Lehigh

Pollard was the ninth head football coach for at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and he held that position for the 1901 season. His coaching record at Lehigh was 1 wins, 11 losses, and 0 ties. This ranks him 29th at Lehigh in terms of total wins and 29th at Lehigh in terms of winning percentage.^[2]

He found more success at Alabama, where his teams accumulated a record of 21 wins, 4 losses, and 5 ties. Against Auburn in his first season, Pollard used a "military shift" never before seen in the south.^[3]

His success at Alabama was not without failures. The first season Pollard coached the Crimson Tide, they achieved a record of 5 wins and 1 loss. However, that one loss was a 78–0 thrashing by Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tennessee.^[4] 1907, Pollard's second season at Alabama, was similar. The team produced a record of 5 wins, 1 loss, and 2 ties. However, the one loss was a 54–4 pounding by Sewanee.^[5] By 1909, his team produced more consistent results. No team scored on the Crimson Tide until the last two games, and their only loss came in the last game of the season by a score of 12–6 against LSU at home.^[6]
