On Good Morning Football this morning, Ian Rappaport talked about Ron Rivera potentially being hired as the new head coach of the Washington Redskins, and he was unambiguous, saying, “Make no mistake... this is happening.”
Rivera arrived in Washington late yesterday with his wife and reportedly went out for dinner with Dan Snyder. Expectations, according to Rappaport, are that the two sides will finalize a deal today.
There have been some concerns raised about Rivera’s potential hiring, mostly focused on Rivera’s three winning seasons out of nine total in Carolina. Geoff Schwartz addressed those concerns yesterday in an article published by SB Nation:
I know he only had three winning seasons in Carolina, but it’s not as bad as it looked.
