Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Redskins are expected to hire Ron Rivera as their next head coach on Monday, barring any unforeseen developments.
Rivera is in Washington to meet with the Redskins today. Reports from last night mentioned that the Redskins are looking to close the deal and announce him as their next head coach.
Rivera could end up having control of personnel as part of this deal, according to reports.
Rivera, 57, is a former second-round pick of the Bears back in 1984. He played several seasons in Chicago before taking his first coaching job with the Bears in 1997. He worked for the Eagles and Chargers before the Panthers hired him as their head coach in 2011.
Rivera spent the past nine years as the Panthers head coach and has led them to a record of 76-63-1, which includes four playoff appearances and a trip to the Super Bowl following the 2015 season. He has been named the AP coach of the year twice.
We’ll have more on Rivera and the Redskins as the news is available.
