The Washington Commanders fired Ron Rivera on Monday after four seasons. Owner Josh Harris immediately announced he had formed an advisory committee consisting of minority owners David Blitzer, Magic Johnson, Mitch Rales, former Golden State Warriors GM Bob Myers, former Minnesota Vikings GM Rick Speilman, and himself.
Harris made it clear during his press conference on Monday that the head of football operations/GM would be a separate role from the head coach. Rivera had served both roles during his time in Washington.
Shortly after Harris announced Rivera’s dismissal, the Commanders requested permission to speak with head coaching candidates.
