Rams Interview Ron Rivera For Defensive-Coordinator Job

Rams Interview Ron Rivera For Defensive-Coordinator Job

10 months ago

The Los Angeles Rams interviewed former Carolina Panthers and Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera for their vacant defensive-coordinator position over the weekend, according to a source. Rivera was fired by Washington after the 2023 season, and while he isn't getting looks for another head-coaching job this cycle, the Rams and Dallas Cowboys are considering him for defensive coordinator. Dallas might be needing a new defensive coordinator if Dan Quinn gets the head-coaching job for the Commanders or Seattle Seahawks. Before head-coaching stints with the Panthers from 2011-19 and Commanders from 2020-23, Rivera was the Chicago Bears' defensive coordinator from 2004-06 and the Los Angeles Chargers' DC from 2008-10.
