If he is not fired, I will leave the Washington Commanders head coach, as he has a misunderstanding with his star player.
In the wake of the team’s 4-13 campaign—Ron Rivera’s fourth managing Washington—the Washington Commanders sacked Rivera as head coach on Monday.
Despite having high hopes going into the 2023 season, Washington dropped its last eight games.
After Josh Harris, the new major owner, took over the organization for the first time, Rivera was fired. Throughout his four seasons at Washington, the coach never recorded a winning record, going 26-40-1 overall. In 2020, Rivera’s first season, the Commanders, nicknamed the “Football Team” at the time, finished 7-9 and won the NFC East.
In a statement, Harris stated, “Ron helped navigate this organization through some challenging times.” “He is a good man and thoughtful leader who has positively contributed to this organization and the NFL.”
Rivera praised Harris, the team’s supporters, players, and coaching staff in a message that was shared on the team’s Twitter account.

“As for Washington, it wasn’t easy and there is a lot more to be done, but I believe we began to change the culture of this organization in meaningful ways,” Rivera stated. “And on a personal note, it has been one of the greatest honors of my career to serve this franchise and those who cheer it on every week.”
Despite starting 2-0 this season, Rivera’s club only managed two victories the rest of the way, despite his admission prior to the season that he required a strong campaign to convince ownership he should remain in the position.
Last week, Rivera told reporters, “I think the thing that has really been bothering me the most is that we didn’t live up to the expectations that we had or that I personally had.” “To me, that was probably the biggest disappointment out of all of them because we really felt like we had enough good players in certain situations to win a few more games and there were some opportunities and things that we missed.”
