Belichick is not know for making questionable to stupid decisions in game planning. Tomlin is.
Both owe their success to their QB, but BB is a much better coach. There's no real comparison there.
It's easy to view the recent success of Belichick AND Brady and say that Belichick is a genius. But facts are facts as in marvin lewis going 0-7 in the playoffs. Belichick went 36-44 .450 with the Browns and 5-11 the first year without Brady. You can arguably say he is .500 with the Patriots without Brady since they went 11-5 the year Brady was injured. But in cumulative years he is still 1 out of 7 years without Brady and making the playoffs. Ironically, the year he did make the playoffs with the Browns they beat the Patriots in the wild card round and lost to the Steelers in the divisional round.
The jury is out on Tomlin, he can develop his players and they can become All-Pro's as the Steelers have 8 this year and 7 out of the 8 are exclusively the work of Tomlin, where it can be said that both Cower and Tomlin had Big Ben as their respected All-Pro. But as you stated when Big Ben retires we will see where Tomlin lands in the standings.
