Mike Polly enters his second season as an assistant coach at Murray State, working with the offensive line.
Polly has added the responsibilities of special teams coordinator in 2011. Polly’s primary focus with special teams will be with the punt unit and kickoff return.
Polly saw consistency with his tackles in 2010, as Roderick Tomlin started all 11 games at right tackle, while Raymond Hopson started 10 games at left tackle. The duo anchored the line that allowed just 16 sacks in 515 pass attempts. The Racers allowed one sack or fewer in eight games.
The Racer offense was one of the best in the country as it ranked fourth in passing offense, fifth in total offense and fifth in scoring offense. The line also paved the way for one of the league’s best rushing attacks over the second half of the season.
Polly came to MSU after spending three seasons as an offensive graduate assistant on Rick Stockstill’s staff at Middle Tennessee.
In 2009, Polly helped guide an offensive line that helped paved the way for an offense that accumulated 421.7 yards a game, and allowed just 19 sacks in 436 pass attempts.
The Blue Raiders capped off their best season in school history by defeating Southern Miss in the New Orleans Bowl to finish with a record of 10-3.
He joined the coaching profession at Georgetown College during the Spring of 2007 with film break down and the weight room, and assisted the offensive line coach during spring drills.
The Erlanger, Ky., native played at Georgetown College, where he helped the Tigers to four-straight Mid-South Conference championships.
As a co-captain, he was selected to the All-MSC team as a senior.
Polly’s accolades carried over into the classroom as he was a four-time Academic All-MSC selection, as well as being named a Daktronics NAIA Scholar-Athlete three times.
Polly played his prep ball at Dixie Heights High School, where he was a first-team all-state selection.
Polly, who graduated with a degree in marketing in 2006, was also the recipient of the Georgetown College Scholar Athlete of the Year and the No “I” in Team award, which is selected by faculty, staff and students.
He received his master’s in sport management from Middle Tennessee in 2008.
