Coaching Notes: Faulk, Del Rio, Ryan, Bucs

February 7th, 2025 at 5:33pm CST by Sam Robinson

His Cowboys and Raiders connections in the past, Deion Sanders is still at the controls at Colorado following his son’s exit for the draft. The Hall of Fame cornerback is hiring one of his Canton brethren to coach running backs. Buffaloes backs will be taking instruction from Marshall Faulk next season, the school announced. This will be Faulk’s first foray into college coaching. A superstar at San Diego State in the early 1990s, Faulk enjoyed a Hall of Fame run with the Colts and Rams, winning a Super Bowl and an MVP award in successive seasons. He had enjoyed a lengthy tenure on the media side following his career, but the 51-year-old RB legend will join Sanders’ staff. Faulk’s addition makes Colorado a three-Hall of Famer staff, as Warren Sapp remains as a quality control analyst.

Here is the latest from the coaching ranks:

  • After being fired from his Commanders post late in the 2023 season, Jack Del Rio was not in the NFL this past season. The veteran DC and two-time HC will resurface in an unexpected place. He is taking over as head coach of the Paris Musketeers of the European League of Football. The league has been in existence since fall 2020, and the Paris franchise has played two seasons. Del Rio had coached in the NFL from 1997-2017 but took two seasons off before Ron Rivera hired him in Washington. The team did sport two top-seven defenses under Del Rio, but his last Commanders unit fell to 32nd at the time of his firing. Del Rio, 61, spent last season as an advisor to Wisconsin HC Luke Fickell.
  • Staying with well-known NFL staffers leaving the league, USC has hired Rob Ryan as linebackers coach. Ryan had been onboard as a senior defensive assistant for the Raiders since 2022. Ryan, 62, enjoyed two tours with the Raiders, having been their DC from 2004-08. The four-time NFL DC has not coached at the college level since being Oklahoma State’s DC in the late 1990s.
  • Out of the NFL since a two-year Texans stay ended in January 2023, Pep Hamilton will return to coaching in a prominent role. Maryland has hired the veteran assistant as its OC, NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport tweets. An NFL Network contributor, Hamilton had other options, per Rapoport, but will join his son Jackson with the Terrapins. A high school QB, Jackson Hamilton signed with Maryland in December. Coaching Justin Herbert and Andrew Luck in the pros, Pep Hamilton previously coached in college under Jim Harbaugh at Stanford and Michigan.
  • Moving back to current NFL staffs, the Buccaneers have given title bumps to the two coaches they blocked from Jaguars interviews. Kevin Carberry added an assistant HC title to go with his O-line duties, while the Tampa Bay Times’ Rick Stroud adds assistant O-line coach Brian Picucci is now in position as O-line coach. The Bucs’ setup seemingly remains the same, but as they have long been reported not to be open to allowing Liam Coen to poach anyone under contract, his two initial targets will be taken care of.
  • The Giants are adding ex-NFL cornerback Jeff Burris to work as their CBs coach, Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz tweets. The former NFL starter has been a college assistant in recent years, working at both Louisiana and Louisiana Tech since 2018. He previously spent three seasons as the Dolphins’ assistant DBs coach, being a Joe Philbin hire in 2013.

Ron Rivera To Join Cal Program

February 5th, 2025 at 12:06pm CST by Sam Robinson

Ron Rivera resurfaced on the coaching carousel this offseason, after spending a year out of football. The HC-turned-analyst is returning to the game, but the reemergence will not come in the NFL.

The former Panthers and Commanders HC is taking a job at Cal, according to CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones. The Pac-12 program is on track to hire Rivera for a GM-like role. Rivera is a Cal alum, playing at the Berkeley-based school before a lengthy career as an NFL linebacker.

This move comes not long after Stanford hired one of its most famous football alums, Andrew Luck, to head up its program as GM. Rivera confirmed (via ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter) he is heading to his alma mater. Like Bill Belichick, Rivera has never worked at the college level. The ex-Bears LB had been an NFL coach from 1997-2023, but upon being fired after four years in Washington, the 63-year-old NFL lifer will give the college game a shot.

While Luck will be a former player transitioning to a front office-type role, Rivera has considerable experience in personnel. Being hired to help stabilize the Washington franchise in 2020, Rivera secured final say in personnel matters. Rivera led Washington in 2020, his only playoff berth with the team, without a GM in place. He hired Martin Mayhew for the role in 2021 but retained status as the top football staffer throughout his tenure with the NFC East club.

Even though Rivera did gain personnel seasoning in Washington, he is obviously best known as a sideline presence. After a successful run as a defensive coordinator, Rivera turned around the Panthers after they had cratered to 2-14 in John Fox‘s 2010 finale. Overseeing the likes of Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis, Rivera guided the Cam Newton-piloted Panthers to four playoff berths during his nine-season tenure. This effort peaked with a 15-1 2015 season, one that produced a dominant NFC championship game performance before a Super Bowl 50 loss to the Broncos. The Panthers have not made the playoffs since their Rivera-guided 2017 cameo.

Although Rivera’s final three Commanders seasons fell short of the postseason, as the team struggled to identify a quarterback, the wheels did not fall off until the 2023 season. With help from ownership effectively mandating the team trade Montez Sweat and Chase Young, the Commanders lost their final eight games and finished 4-13. Rivera’s ouster was widely expected, but he garnered several interviews over the past two offseasons. The Bears, Jets and Raiders met with Rivera during this year’s HC hiring cycle. A Jaguars meeting for an assistant role also transpired. The Eagles and Cowboys met with him about a DC role last year.

Rivera played for the Golden Bears from 1980-83, vaulting to the NFL as a Bears second-round pick in 1984. An All-American in 1983, Rivera was a backup for Chicago’s famed 1985 Super Bowl-winning team. More than four decades after leaving Berkeley, he will attempt to elevate a mid-pack program — one that has produced two winning seasons over the past nine years — during a chaotic time at the college level. Like Belichick and Luck, Rivera will be navigating the college game during choppy waters caused by the transfer portal and changing compensation landscape.

Jaguars Meet With Ron Rivera, Hire Tem Lukabu As LBs Coach

February 2nd, 2025 at 2:37pm CST by Nikhil Mehta

Former Commanders and Panthers head coach Ron Rivera met with the Jaguars over the weekend regarding a role on Liam Coen‘s new coaching staff, per Sports Illustrated’s John Shipley.

Rivera has been eyeing a return to the NFL this offseason. He was fired as the Commanders’ head coach after the 2023 season and spent the last year away from football. Over the last two months, he has interviewed with the Bears, the Jets, and the Raiders regarding their head-coaching vacancies, though he was not considered a finalist for any of the three jobs.

The Jaguars also hired former Panthers outside linebackers coach Tem Lukabu, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Lukabu will be the linebackers coach in Jacksonville under new defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile, who was hired on Friday.

Campanile’s hire was a crucial decision given Coen’s history as an offensive coach. Campanile has been in the NFL for just five years with no play-calling experience, though he was co-defensive coordinator at Boston College in 2018.

Bringing in a longtime defensive coach like Rivera could help Campanile transition into his new role. Both spent time as linebackers coaches before earning their first jobs as defensive coordinators at 42 years of age.

Rivera’s 13 years as a head coach could also provide Coen, a first-time head coach, with more guidance on leading an entire football team. The 63-year-old Rivera’s 28 seasons of coaching experience would balance out the relative youth of Coen’s initial staff in Jacksonville.

Raiders To Interview Ron Rivera For HC Job

January 17th, 2025 at 3:09pm CST by Sam Robinson

Already meeting with the Bears and Jets during this HC interview cycle, Ron Rivera will conduct a meeting with another HC-needy franchise. The Raiders are meeting with the former Panthers and Commanders HC, SI.com’s Albert Breer reports. The interview will take place today.

Rivera spent this season out of football, marking his first away from the game since 1996, but is interested in continuing his career. While an assistant job could certainly also be a gateway for the experienced coach to jump back in, he is now involved in three teams’ HC searches.

The Raiders appear to have identified a clear frontrunner, in Lions OC Ben Johnson, but the coveted candidate is also still interested in the Jaguars’ position. Although Las Vegas may well be preparing a big offer to a rather picky candidate, Jacksonville has a setup that already includes a franchise-caliber quarterback — in Trevor Lawrence — and in a much weaker division compared to where the Raiders stand.

A weak division was responsible for Rivera’s only playoff berth in Washington, with a Dak Prescott season-ending injury clearing the road for a 7-9 team to book a playoff berth. While Rivera kept Washington’s operation afloat in 2021 and ’22, the Commanders bottomed out in 2023 by going 4-13 and losing their final eight games. Ownership appearing to overrule Rivera and Co. on a Montez Sweat trade did not help, and the Commanders made a curious decision — considering how hot Rivera’s seat was — to center their 2023 plan around Sam Howell.

Now 63, Rivera is certainly on the older end among this year’s HC candidates. The Raiders have, however, met with Pete Carroll, who is now 73. Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo, 65, also interviewed for this position. With Johnson also still on the Bears’ radar, backup plans may need to emerge for the teams that do not land the hotshot Detroit assistant. Rivera would be one, though third-chance HCs are not overly common in recent NFL history. Rivera did better work with the Panthers during a nine-season tenure, guiding the team to its second Super Bowl and booking three more playoff berths — one involving a 7-8-1 2014 squad — during his tenure.

It is certainly possible Mark Davis‘ quick-trigger firings involving Josh McDaniels and Antonio Pierce will impact this Raiders search, Tom Brady‘s involvement notwithstanding; no Silver and Black HC has lasted more than four seasons since Art Shell‘s first tenure. Rivera was still an NFL player during most of that stint, and at his age now, being the candidate to buck the modern Raiders trend with a long-term stay would be unlikely. It will still be interesting to see if Rivera can secure a third opportunity in Vegas, Chicago or New York.

Bears To Interview Ron Rivera For HC Job

January 11th, 2025 at 9:55am CST by Ben Levine

The Bears are adding a franchise icon to their list of head coaching candidates. According to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, the Bears will interview Ron Rivera this weekend for their head coaching job.

Rivera has had multiple stints with the organization, most famously between 1984 and 1992 when the linebacker helped anchor Chicago’s defense. He won a Super Bowl with the ’85 Bears, and he proceeded to spend his entire nine-year playing career with the organization.

A few years following his retirement, Rivera got his first coaching gig in Chicago, serving as a defensive quality control coach for two years. He next spent a half-decade in Philly serving as the Eagles linebackers coach before he returned to the Bears as their defensive coordinator. Rivera earned PFWA’s Assistant Coach of the Year honors following his second season at the helm, and he helped guide an NFC Championship-winning defense in 2006.

The relationship between the two sides broke down following Rivera’s third season as DC. Rivera’s contract wasn’t extended due to failed negotiations, and he ended up leaving to become the ILB coach in San Diego. He was quickly promoted to DC with the Chargers, and he parlayed that performance into the Panthers HC job.

Rivera saw some ups and downs during his time in Carolina. His hiring coincided with the addition of first-overall pick Cam Newton, and the duo eventually led the Panthers to four playoff appearances in five years (including a run to the Super Bowl in 2015). Rivera earned a pair of Coach of the Year honors during that run. A late-season collapse saw the Panthers miss the playoffs in 2018, and the team bottomed out with Newton out of the lineup in 2019. Midway through that latter campaign, Rivera was let go by the Panthers.

He quickly landed on his feet in Washington, as he was named head coach ahead of the 2020 season. The Commanders made the playoffs despite a 7-9 record during Rivera’s first season on the sideline, and they flirted with a .500 record for the next couple of years. After the Commanders went 4-13 during the 2023 campaign, Rivera was fired by the team.

The long-time coach was out of football for the 2024 season, although he made it clear that he intended to return to coaching. It didn’t take long for him to reemerge during this year’s hiring cycle, as he’s already met with the Jets about their job.

Rivera now represents the 18th coach to be connected to Chicago’s job. Some of those targets, like Bill Belichick and Mike McCarthy, didn’t gain any traction, but the team has otherwise interviewed or requested interviews with 15 other candidates (excluding Rivera):

Jets To Interview Ron Rivera

December 30th, 2024 at 10:02pm CST by Adam La Rose

The Jets’ decision to move on from Joe Douglas created a vacancy for the general manager position. The team moved quickly in bringing in Mike Tannenbaum and Rick Spielman to lead the way in the search for his replacement along with a new head coach.

Several candidates for the GM position have already emerged, but the Jets are also set to begin looking into head coaching options. Only those not currently under contract with another NFL club can meet with the team at this point in the year, and a notable name in that regard has emerged. Ron Rivera will interview with the Jets this week, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

[RELATED: Rex Ryan Expecting Jets Interview]

New York is looking for experience in both the head coach and general manager positions, and Rivera would certainly qualify in that regard. The 62-year-0ld’s NFL coaching tenure dates back 20 years, and he spent a total of six seasons as defensive coordinator of the Bears and Chargers. That was followed by a nine-year run at the helm of the Panthers, one which was highlighted by a Super Bowl appearance. Rivera’s time in Carolina came to an end with a midseason firing in 2019, but he took charge of the Commanders the following year.

In his debut campaign in the nation’s capital, Rivera guided the team to the postseason (despite managing a record of only 7-9). After that year’s wild-card defeat, seven- and eight-win seasons followed, and a lack of postseason appearances and questions at the quarterback spot lingered entering last year. Sam Howell was leaned on to handle QB1 duties, and his struggles in that role (along with a poor defensive outing especially after edge rushers Chase Young and Montez Sweat were traded away) resulted in a 4-13 campaign. After a one-year observation period from owner Josh Harris, Rivera was fired in a move which came as little surprise.

The longtime staffer has not held a position at the pro or college levels this year, but he made it clear last winter he did not intend to retire. Rivera added a willingness to return to a defensive coordinator position in his next gig, and he drew notable interest in that respect. The Cowboys, Rams and Eagles each interviewed him for their respective DC openings, although all three teams went in a different direction. Rivera could once again be a name to watch on the coordinator front in this year’s hiring cycle.

Of course, that could also be true with respect to another head coaching opportunity. The Bears and Saints are also in need of a full-time coach for 2025, and more vacancies are expected in the near future. The Jets’ interest will produce at least one interview, though, and it will be interesting to see if more are soon to follow.

Latest On Joe Whitt; Cowboys Eyeing Ron Rivera?

February 1st, 2024 at 10:02pm CST by Ben Levine

We heard earlier today that Cowboys secondary coach Joe Whitt has emerged as the lead candidate to take over as his team’s defensive coordinator. At the same time, it sounded like the coach he’d be replacing in Dallas, Dan Quinn, still loomed as a suitor in Washington. We haven’t gotten any more clarity since then, but the sweepstakes continue to get more interesting.

[RELATED: Cowboys Aiming To Hire Joe Whitt As DC]

Earlier this evening, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 reported that Quinn and the Commanders were expected to hire Whitt as their defensive coordinator. However, Clarence Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram notes Whitt-to-Washington isn’t a done deal, and the Cowboys continue to be in play. Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News adds that the Commanders are simply working on scheduling an interview with Whitt.

The long-time coach would be a logical candidate for both roles. Whitt had a long stint working alongside Mike McCarthy in Green Bay, and the two teamed up again in Dallas. Whitt also worked alongside Quinn in both Dallas and Atlanta, so it’s natural that both head coaches are pursuing a familiar face for their respective coordinator vacancies.

Whitt has been with the Cowboys since 2021, serving as the team’s secondary coach and pass game coordinator. Under his tutelage, both Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland have earned first-team All-Pro nods, and he’s also helped guide a formidable safeties corps that features the likes of Jayron Kearse, Donovan Wilson, and Malik Hooker. The 45-year-old has served as the defensive pass game coordinator in Dallas, Atlanta, Cleveland, and Green Bay, so it’d be a natural progression for him to earn a promotion to defensive coordinator.

While the Cowboys continue to be in the running, it sounds like the team is expanding their list of coordinator candidates. According to David Moore of the Dallas Morning News, Ron Rivera is slated to interview for the Cowboys DC job next week, perhaps a hint that Dallas isn’t confident about their ability to retain Whitt.

Rivera was fired by the Commanders last month, but he’s since become a popular coordinator candidate. He earned interviews with both the Rams and Eagles, but both organizations decided to go in different directions. He sounds like he could now be a fallback option for the Cowboys, who are now in the market for a defensive coordinator with Quinn having been named Washington’s new head coach.

Watkins passes along another potential name to watch for the Cowboys DC job: Mike Zimmer. The former Vikings head coach is interested in the job, a source told Watkins, although it’s uncertain if that interest has been reciprocated.

Zimmer spent more than a decade in Dallas, ultimately serving as the team’s defensive coordinator. He had the same job with the Falcons and Bengals before being named the Vikings head coach in 2014. He lasted eight seasons in Minnesota, earning three playoff appearances. After he was fired following the 2021 campaign, he spent a season as a consultant at Jackson State.

Ron Rivera On Cowboys’ Radar

January 28th, 2024 at 4:07pm CST by Sam Robinson

Dan Quinn is still in the mix for the two remaining HC positions, putting the Cowboys — once again — in jeopardy of losing their defensive coordinator. The former Falcons head coach has been selective about his destinations, but the Cowboys have identified at least one contingency plan in the event their defensive play-caller bolts.

The team has interest in Ron Rivera as a Quinn backup plan, according to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport. Rivera interviewed for the Eagles’ DC job, but the team quickly pivoted to Vic Fangio once the Dolphins let him out of his contract. This marks Rivera’s first non-Philly connection during this year’s hiring period.

[RELATED: 2024 Head Coaching Search Tracker]

Rivera, however, said he had spoken with multiple teams following his Black Monday firing. The Commanders canned Rivera after four seasons. With Josh Harris buying the team (and playing a central role in it trading both Montez Sweat and Chase Young on deadline day), Rivera’s firing — which came after an eight-game losing streak — was one of the most anticipated ousters in recent NFL history. The expected ouster assuredly allowed Rivera to chart potential options for the 2024 season.

Rivera, 62, has not been a coordinator since a stay as the Chargers’ DC vaulted him onto the HC radar. The former Super Bowl HC spent nine seasons leading the Panthers and the past four in Washington. The 2010 Bolts’ defense ranked first in yards allowed, leading Rivera to Charlotte. Rivera also served as a Super Bowl DC, residing in that post for the 2006 Bears — a team whose defense became rather important, as Rex Grossman was at quarterback. The Bears ranked first and third in scoring defense, respectively, in 2005 and ’06.

Jack Del Rio‘s firing led to Rivera calling plays to close out the 2023 season. Washington’s defense struggled throughout, bottoming out following the Sweat and Young trades. The end result: last-place rankings in scoring and yardage. But the Cowboys have enjoyed steady success after giving Quinn a rebound opportunity.

If Quinn is to replace Rivera in Washington or succeed ex-boss Pete Carroll in Seattle, Rivera should be expected to become a candidate for the Dallas DC post. Quinn will go through a second interview for the Washington job Tuesday. The Seahawks probably represent Quinn’s best chance, however; Lions OC Ben Johnson still looks like the favorite to land the Commanders’ HC gig.
