Ron Rivera said he feels like a coach again rather than just a 'manager,' but he knows he has much to prove to stay on with the Commanders.
With a new ownership in place and his fourth season at the helm in Washington approaching, the 13-year NFL head coach knows that 2023 is an audition for his future – and one in which he looks forward to focusing on just football.
“He took it when he needed to,” assistant running backs coach Jennifer King told USA TODAY Sports. “And that was always his message for us, is just keep the main thing the main thing. Focus on what we could control and go out and put a product on the field. I’m sure behind the scenes, it might have been crazy for him, but in front of us, it was always steady, always calm.Not all is the same with Rivera, said quarterback Sam Howell.
Rivera, the lone Latino coach in the NFL, has never put together a winning season in three seasons in Washington despite winning the NFC East title in 2020 at 7-9. For the new ownership group, namely principal partner Josh Harris, to keep him around as they rebuild the organization in their vision, Rivera knows he will have to stack wins.
