The Washington Commanders fired head coach Ron Rivera on Monday, following a 4-13 campaign in 2023. The Commanders hired former Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers and former Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman as advisers in their search for a new head coach.

Rivera’s ouster followed new principal owner Josh Harris’ first season controlling the organization. The coach never posted a winning record in his four seasons in Washington, finishing 26-40-1 overall. Harris said in a statement: “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.”

The former Carolina Panthers coach owns a career record of 102-103-2 over 13 seasons. Rivera went 76-63-1 in nine seasons with the Panthers, including a run to the Super Bowl in 2016. He led the Panthers to the playoffs in five of his nine seasons before being fired in 2019.
