Bengals retain Marvin Lewis on 2 year deal:

After appearing to finally be on the outs after 15 years in Cincinnati, Lewis instead returns after likely winning some concessions from owner Mike Brown. Lewis had been talking as if he had to be convinced to stay, instead of vice versa. It's another strange chapter in a coaching career that's included seven trips to the postseason but zero playoff victories. Lewis can coach competent football — his teams have posted nine or more wins six times in nine years since 2009 — but at least so far, his style of play has come with a hard ceiling. There's little reason to believe the Bengals will finally find the next level in 2018.
And one that apparently happened in season, but only reported now:
Packers extend Mike McCarthy for one season:

It's just a band aid to help McCarthy avoid lame duck status. McCarthy's 12th year as head coach in 2017 was the first since 2008 to end without a playoff berth. On paper, it's hard to argue with McCarthy's results — a .636 winning percentage — but it's easily defensible to say he should have accomplished more with Aaron Rodgers as his quarterback. 2018 will be a hot seat year for McCarthy.
Current teams looking for a HC:
Oakland Raiders
Indianapolis Colts
New York Giants
Arizona Cardinals
Detroit Lions
Chicago Bears
