Ron Rivera played the part of an NFL head coach for the past four seasons in Washington. He made roster decisions and ran meetings. One could see him on the sideline with the appropriate logo on his hat, arms folded, looking stoic.
He put in the long hours. Slogged through the meager times. Watched more middling offense than a Detroit Pistons fan. Now that, as of Monday morning, the Washington Commanders have officially fired Rivera, he can do anything he wants. He’d be great on television. He can coordinate a defense. For the Philadelphia Eagles, he might be able to still play linebacker.
