The search for Ron Rivera’s successor began shortly after kickoff for some Commanders fans.
The Washington Commanders finished the first quarter of their game against the New York Jets in a 17-0 hole. That pathetic display was enough for some Commanders fans to renew the call for head coach Ron Rivera to lose his job
It’s been a horrendous start for Washington on the road against a Jets team that is 5-9 and lost six of its last seven games. On five possessions, the Commanders punted three times. And those were the successful drives, by comparison.
One drive ended on a blocked punt that gifted the Jets a short field and a touchdown. The other drive for Washington ended with a Sam Howell interception that turned into three points for the offensively-challenged Jets.
For one fan on X (formerly Twitter), Rivera’s fate was no longer in question. It was simply a matter of timing.
“Does Ron Rivera get fired on Christmas or do they wait until Tuesday???”
Another observer compared Rivera to former Buffalo Bills cornerback Vontae Davis. Davis infamously retired at halftime of a Bills game in 2018
