The Washington Redskins today announced Ron Rivera as the team’s new head coach. The announcement follows a host of unofficial reports that had been published in recent days saying that the team and the former Panthers head coach had reached agreement.
Dan Snyder got his man! Ron Rivera became the Redskins clear target for their open head coaching job as soon as the season ended on Sunday. The rumors intensified, and after a visit to the DC area early this week, Rivera is the new head coach of the Washington Redskins.
