Barring unforeseen circumstances, Commanders owner Josh Harris plans to evaluate head coach Ron Rivera's status after the regular season, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reports.
So I did a Turkey Trot today and overheard a conversation about Kirk Cousins. Guy says Cousins is like unsalted mash potatoes. You’re not mad that someone served them but you’re not excited about it either. You’ll probably eat them but won’t be thrilled about it. Rivera is that kind of guy for coaching. He’s not great. But then he has teams that don’t have a lot of talent. His teams don’t overperform their talent level but they don’t seem to ever underperform either. You never really look at his teams and say, “A team that is built this way should be way better than this.” He seems to beat the teams he should beat and loses to the teams you don’t expect him to beat and doesn’t usually get embarrassed badly, avoids controversy and no one really cares.
