Head coach Ron Rivera is not a fan of any narrative that suggests he only took the position with the Washington Football Team for money.
During an interview with Ben Standig of The Athletic, Rivera had an answer to anyone with that notion:
"I got a letter from somebody that doesn't know me that said, 'You took this (job) for the money.' I would say bulls--t. You don't know me. How can you write that and say that (Rivera said the letter was from someone 'pissed off' about the team name change)?
