ASHBURN — Dressed in a gray suit, wearing a burgundy tie and a Redskins pin, Ron Rivera hardly needed the microphone in front of him. His voice carried throughout the auditorium, his tone rising as he spoke about the reasons he took the job.
It wasn’t money that attracted him to Washington, he said.
Rather, Rivera detailed the “perspective” owner Dan Snyder shared with him while recruiting the former Carolina Panthers coach.
“He told me the common factor in that transitional success for teams like the Patriots, Seahawks and Chiefs and some other ones was the decision to take it and make it a coach-centered approach,” Rivera said.
