The easiest way to peg Tomlin's value is to start listing active coaches that can be reasonably be rated as significantly superior to Tomlin.

Bellichek. Carroll? I don't see it but everyone keeps telling me how great the Harbaugh boys are.

In all honesty, everyone else is equal or far lesser of a coach than Tomlin.

Does that hat make him great? Nope. But it is hard for me to see who would be a clearly superior choice?
