Oddsmakers seem to think there’s a pretty decent chance that 2018 will be the final year of his tenure in Cincinnati. The latest odds from Betway have Lewis tied with former Bengals assistant Vance Joseph, currently the Broncos head coach, for the third-best odds to be fired first in 2018.
Former Bengals offensive coordinator and current Browns head coach Hue Jackson has the best odds of being fired first. Fellow former Bengals offensive coordinator and current Washington head coach Jay Gruden is tied for the fifth-best odds to be fired first.
