The Commanders’ season has taken a hit, landing at 4-8, leading to scrutiny on head coach Ron Rivera, who holds a record of 26-35-1 since assuming the role in 2020.
Reports from NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport suggest that the team’s new owner, Josh Harris, intends to assess Rivera’s position post-season. While it seems likely that Washington will part ways with their head coach, the timing remains the primary question.

Following a substantial 45-10 loss to division rival Dallas on Thursday, Rivera faced questions about job security in his postgame press conference. In response, he maintained his focus on the job at hand, stating, “I’ve told you before, I’m not worried about anything. All I’m going to do is do my job and see how things go. That’s the only thing I can do.”
Pressed about potential staff changes over the upcoming long weekend, Rivera declined to delve into the matter.
Looking ahead, the Commanders are set to face the Dolphins in Week 13 before a Week 14 bye. The remaining season includes matchups against the Rams, Jets, 49ers, and Cowboys. The uncertainties surrounding Rivera’s future add an extra layer of intrigue to Washington’s path for the remainder of the season.
