Ron Rivera Wants to Keep Coaching in NFL After Commanders Firing; Open to DC Role

The Washington Commanders fired head coach Ron Rivera after the 2023 season, but he doesn't want to be done coaching in the NFL.

Even if it means returning to a defensive coordinator role.

"Sometimes you do have to take a step back," Rivera said while revealing he would be open to such a role, per John Keim of ESPN.

"You take a step back you learn and grow from it. It's like I told other players, if you look at this year as a lost year, you're [hurting] yourself. You should look at it as a year to learn and understand why things happen.
