Here are the five head coaches that should be considered on the hot seat for NFL Week 13 of the 2018 season.

With only five weeks remaining in the 2018 season, time is running out for certain head coaches that continue to find themselves on the hot seat heading into NFL Week 13. Take a look at Marvin Lewis for example, who can best be described as the head coach that should have been fired years ago by the Cincinnati Bengals when seeing how long it’s been, and he doesn’t have a single playoff win to his resume.

Early on in the season, the Bengals actually showed signs of being a potential serious contender in the AFC thanks to an impressive 4-1 start before it all fell apart in the weeks to follow. Since that impressive start, Cincinnati has gone on to lose five of their last six games, including a devastating one this past weekend to the Cleveland Browns.

Losing to a division rival is never easy to deal with, but when it happens to be the Browns when seeing all of the frustration they were feeling towards Hue Jackson, it made this loss hurt even more.

Sad thing is, if the Bengals were willing to give Lewis all of the chances they have over the years, what makes fans think anything is going to change if the team misses out on the playoffs for a third year in a row?

Until a change is made at head coach, Cincinnati seems to be a team that is only going to continue holding themselves back, as Lewis seems to find ways to hit a new low each week. The chances of Lewis getting fired may seem slim given his history, but that’s not going to prevent him from making a list like this along with the rest of these coaches when it comes to being on the hot seat for Week 13.
