Dating back to 2007 the start of the Mike Tomlin era in Pittsburgh, few quarterback-head coach combinations can claim more success, longevity and franchise stability than Tomlin and Ben Roethlisberger.
When it comes to the number of quarterback-head coach combinations in the NFL today, Tomlin and Roethlisberger remain inside the top 10, according to CBS Sports’ Jeff Kerr, who slotted the Roethlisberger-Tomlin pairing at No. 8 overall in his top 10 coaching-QB duos for the second straight year.
Despite going 12-3 in 15 Roethlisberger starts and winning the AFC North division title for the first time since 2017, Tomlin and Roethlisberger did not move up in Kerr’s rankings, which was a bit curious despite some serious movement ahead of and behind the duo in the rankings.
