3. Marvin Lewis

Don’t act all surprised to see Marvin Lewis on this list since the Cincinnati Bengals head coach has become all too familiar with the hot seat over the years, yet the team continues to reward him with additional chances he doesn’t deserve. Most coaches in the position Lewis finds himself in would have been sent packing a long time ago when taking into consideration the Bengals are missing out on the playoffs for a third year in a row on top of the fact he has a career 0-7 record.

For reasons that are difficult to explain, nobody can figure out why Cincinnati wants to keep Lewis around, and every time it seems like he’s finally going to be gone, the coach ends up sticking around. Not even all of the key injuries to players like Andy Dalton or A.J. Green can be used as an excuse at this point when seeing how the struggles were already taking place before they ended up going down for the year.

Not even a meeting with the Oakland Raiders makes it seem like the Bengals have what it takes to put an end to their miserable losing streak this late in the season. In fact, if Cincinnati ended up finishing the year losing eight games in a row, would anyone really be all that surprised?
