Quote:The Washington Commanders are moving on from head coach Ron Rivera a day after the team finished a 4-13 season. Rivera compiled a 26-40-1 record in four seasons with the organization, and was fired after months of speculation that Washington would find a new coach at the conclusion of this season.

Owner Josh Harris will employ the experience of former Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers and former Minnesota Vikings general manager and current co-host of 'With the First Pick,' a CBS Sports podcast, Rick Spielman to aid in the search a new head of football operations and head coach.

This marks the second time that Rivera has been fired in the second year of a franchise's new ownership. Carolina owner David Tepper cut ties with the coach in 2019 after buying the team a year earlier.
