COMMENTS
The titular polynomials are defined recursively: p(n,x)=x*p(n-1,x)+n(-1+n^2)/6, with p(0,x)=1. For an introduction to reductions of polynomials by substitutions such as x^2->x+1, see A192232 and A192744.
FORMULA
a(n)=5*a(n-1)-9*a(n-2)+6*a(n-3)+a(n-4)-3*a(n-5)+a(n-6).
G.f.: -x*(1-4*x+7*x^2-4*x^3+x^4) / ( (x^2+x-1)*(x-1)^4 ). - R. J. Mathar, May 12 2014
