Breaking News: A Competing Team Conducts an Interview with Former Washington Commanders Head Coach Ron Rivera for a Coaching Position
Former Washington Commanders coach Ron Rivera isn't hanging up his coaching hat just yet. This week, Rivera has taken steps to apply for a coaching position with another team following his departure from the Commanders.
At 62 years old, Rivera brings a wealth of coaching experience to the table. However, he has not served as a defensive coordinator since 2010 during his tenure with the Chargers. He transitioned to the role of head coach for the Carolina Panthers from 2011 to 2019 and then took the helm as head coach for the Washington Commanders from 2020 to 2023. During his coaching career, he amassed a combined record of 102 wins, 103 losses, and 2 ties.
In a bid to revamp the Commanders' defensive performance during the 2023 season, Rivera assumed the role of defensive play-caller after parting ways with former coordinator Jack Del Rio. Unfortunately, the team finished at the bottom of the league, ranking 32nd in both yards allowed and points allowed. This was a stark contrast to the previous year when Washington ranked 3rd in yards allowed and 7th in points allowed.
Rivera's connection to the team runs deep, as he previously served as the Eagles linebackers coach under former head coach Andy Reid from 1999 to 2003.
The Philadelphia Eagles endured a rollercoaster season, starting strongly with a 10-1 record. However, they stumbled down the stretch with a 1-6 finish and ultimately bowed out in the Wild Card round, marking a disappointing conclusion to their campaign.
