End of Ron Rivera Era Expected for Washington Commanders

Four-year tenure marked by off-field issues and on-field struggles, with team failing to qualify for postseason since first year.

Ron Rivera's tenure as Washington Commanders' coach is expected to end after Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys, marking the end of a four-year stint that saw the team struggle on the field.
Rivera's teams were on average 4.1 points worse than an average team per game, ranking 26th in the NFL, and failed to finish above .500 or qualify for the postseason in any season since their NFC East title in his first year.
Rivera's tenure was marked by off-field issues including a pandemic, an investigation into the franchise’s toxic workplace culture, and his own cancer diagnosis.
Despite the team's poor performance, Rivera remained encouraging and consistent, according to top wide receiver Terry McLaurin.
Offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, who joined the Commanders to show his capabilities away from Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, also faces an uncertain future after a disappointing season.
