Found this article about Del Rio vs Lewis back in 2011. It is an article about the NFL's "head coach survivors".
Del Rio's team got worse, and he was released, The Bengals drafted Dalton and Green, and began a run of success... It's interesting to look back at the piece because of when it was written, you will have to look for yourself.

Something I found humorous was the last line
"Del Rio and Lewis will both need to win more to keep their jobs. But while Del Rio is under a mandate from Weaver to make the playoffs, Brown only said he expects to have a "better year" than season's 4-12, though he didn't specify how much better. Brown said that if the Bengals are better, Lewis' contract, "might get longer real fast."
Now they meet up again, and it makes me happy that the Jaguars have been in stagnant disarray while we have gotten to the playoffs the last for yours... It gives you a smidgeon of confidence in the organization.. or it does for me anyways.
Now Del Rio is in Oakland, trying again, and I can't help but feel a bit more confident about the game knowing that while Del Rio and Lewis are almost clones of eachother, Lewis has the slight edge on him.
