He gone
What is there to evaluate? He should be canned so you can see what you have with Eric Bieniemy. It’s been 4 years, 3 going
7-9
7-10
8-8-1
and now another season thats going to be under .500
He gone
Tank commander
One Harbaugh bro in each conference- one in Baltimore and one next door in DC might be fun
Ron’s gotta be done regardless of how the season goes right? New team, hopefully new name, gotta go with a new coach. At least you have a solid idea that Sam Howell is worth building around in the interim.
I don’t see Harris hiring a high profile coach for next season… so even if he did let Rivera go it will be to replace him with an internal candidate like Bienemy or another type of stop gap solution before luring away a huge name to coach the Commanders in 2025 or 2026.
I know it may be painful… but the Commanders will 100% still be in tank mode for 2024. Don’t be shocked if a few young up and coming players are traded in the off season for even more draft capital. Harris is going to want that number one or number two overall pick.
Translation: he gone
It’s not a popular decision, but I agree with Harris on this one! You really can’t make any real changes until after the season anyway so why not let him finish the season? We all see where it’s heading, unless Rivera and Co pull off the biggest turnaround this franchise ever seen since 2012 when Washington was 3-6 and won 7 straight.
He gone. Washington should do a complete rebuild/rebrand under the new owner. They have no identity. Am I alone in that aside from Howell, I can’t name another Washington player? And since I’m total casual, I only know Howell from reading this sub lol. I guess they still have “scary Terry,” but I don’t hear much about him even.
One of Daron Payne or Jon Allen is probably on the PB this year
Evaluate --> mutually agree to part ways
Rivera did a better job stabilizing behind-the-scenes chaos from Dan Snyder than he did as a Head Coach. Overall I think he’s leaving the organization in a better place than he found it. Hope he retires and rides off into the sunset with a positive overall record when all is said and done.

At 102–97–2 that’s gonna be a close call.
All we have to do is win 2 games
Damn RIP Ron’s positive record then I guess
Gonna be a close call
Get one today please 🙏
Then why not higher Rivera to just be some PR role, make him the president of the team. Making him the HC just for positive PR is a terrible plan. It just shows that Washington didn’t really care about winning, just saving face
I always see this but what exactly did he stabilize? We’re in a better spot as an organization because Satan is finally gone (which Ron had nothing to do with) but from a purely football operations standpoint we are in the exact same spot we were in when he took over, if not worse. The only saving grace is we may have found an answer at QB.

Redditor speak so they sound educated on the topic. Dude is the HC not the PR team.
I wouldn’t say that because the media and even Ron himself have echoed the same sentiment. I’m just confused where it’s coming from because literally the only reason I have any more hope for this organization now than I did when he took over is Snyder being gone
That’s what I was thinking. Jay Gruden was a stabilizing force when he took over, and he had a reasonable head coaching stretch. He took over at a time when Washington really needed some continuity at a minimum. Rivera’s just been more of the same, just with better defenses instead of Gruden’s offenses.
Incidentally, I’m surprise Gruden hasn’t gotten another shot. I didn’t think he did especially poorly as a HC, factoring in he was under Snyder.
When Rivera took over we had no HR department, GM, Team President, and many staff within football operations had to be fired or resigned due to pending scandals or toxic behavior. Rivera had to oversee the overall rebuild of everything on football operations and essentially act as CEO on top of regular HC responsibilities. Jay Gruden was a very lax presence & regularly neutered by Bruce Allen. The team needed discipline and structure which Rivera provided.
It’s really crazy if you think about it considering what we now know about Snyder’s tenure in just the last decade of his ownership.
He gone
Gone Rivera
If I ever buy a business for 6 billion dollars and I don’t evaluate it (at least) every year please tell me I’m doing it wrong.
