In summary, Tomlin is a head coach who in his 14 full seasons has won the division title 7 times plus another 2 wild card appearances and never finished a single season with a losing record.  He's a Super Bowl winner and also appeared in another and has 8 playoff wins to his credit.  On the other side, Del Rio has as many losing seasons as winning seasons.  His overall record has more losses than wins.  He never won a division title in 12 years and has only won 1 playoff game.  It doesn't feel very comparable to me.

With non comparable Quarterbacks, and non comparable rosters. But. you knew that. I remember the Jaguars seemed to play, and beat the Steelers often, and maybe even three times in the same season. Go figure. How is Tomlin's record without Ben?

You can speculate all you want about what if so and so had so and so players.  Coaches are judged on their results.  In regards to head-to-head, I have no idea and I'm not going to bother to look it up as the stats that I posted above are 10 times more important.  I'll give you a couple more stats.  Mike Tomlin is the fourth fastest NFL head coach in NFL history to reach 150 wins.  He was faster than Bill Belichick and any other active coach.  His number of wins already places him in the top 20 coaches in NFL history and he isn't even 50 years old.  JDR has a career losing record.  I have nothing against JDR, but his head coaching performance does not remotely compare to Tomlin.
