Rivera did a better job stabilizing behind-the-scenes chaos from Dan Snyder than he did as a Head Coach. Overall I think he’s leaving the organization in a better place than he found it. Hope he retires and rides off into the sunset with a positive overall record when all is said and done.

When Rivera took over we had no HR department, GM, Team President, and many staff within football operations had to be fired or resigned due to pending scandals or toxic behavior. Rivera had to oversee the overall rebuild of everything on football operations and essentially act as CEO on top of regular HC responsibilities. Jay Gruden was a very lax presence & regularly neutered by Bruce Allen. The team needed discipline and structure which Rivera provided.
It’s really crazy if you think about it considering what we now know about Snyder’s tenure in just the last decade of his ownership.
