Ron Rivera believes he will 'coach again' after being fired by Panthers

Former Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera believes he’ll get another shot to coach in the NFL. The 57-year-old Rivera was fired by the Panthers on Tuesday. In nine seasons, Rivera compiled a 76-63-1 record with the team.

Rivera held a press conference Wednesday to express his desire to continue coaching. Though after nine years on the job, Rivera said he would take a couple weeks before he started prepping for his next job, according to NFL.com.

"I do believe I will get another opportunity, and I will coach again," he said, laughing that he's taking the next four weeks off before getting back to work.
