Per a new report in The Athletic, the Washington Commanders are set to part ways with Ron Rivera at the conclusion of the 2023 season. Rivera was thought to be on the hot seat heading into the 2023 season, and the Commanders have been a disappointment since their schedule in September began.
The Commanders made the playoffs once in RIvera’s first three seasons in Washington. The Commanders are 4-9 heading into Week 15, and Rivera has a 26-36-1 record during his time in Washington.
The Washington Commanders will move on from Rivera
According to Dianna Russini with The Athletic, new team owner Josh Harris is set to fire Rivera following the Commanders’ final game of the season against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 18:
“There are no surprises arriving in Washington at the end of the regular season. At this point it’s understood around the building based on multiple people I have spoken with that Ron Rivera and some front office members will be fired.
Since acquiring the team, new owner Josh Harris has had the vision to keep Rivera in place through the end of the season, then move on. It’s really not a secret anymore.”
Russini’s report shouldn’t come as a surprise. The Commanders have made moves throughout the season, pointing to swift changes coming to the organization. The Commanders traded Chase Young and Montez Sweat at the deadline. They hired Eugene Shen to oversee analytics and football operations in October.
