The Washington Redskins’ nation was set ablaze early on Monday morning, as it was announced that team president Bruce Allen would be removed from his post with the team.
Along with that long-overdue news, it’s highly expected that former Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera will be named as the next head coach of the Redskins, and he is flying to Ashburn to meet with the team and likely sign a contract on Monday.
With so much change happening around the organization, players and fans have taken to social media and let their thoughts on the matter run free. Here is the best of what we saw on Twitter so far on Monday.

Gerald McCoy says he would tell Washington players, in light of Ron Rivera news, that “the greatest thing in their careers is about to happen.”

Jordan Reed in the building. Dapped him up, and said, he’s been good and feeling good. Teammates were hype seeing him

The fact that none of what happened with Bruce Allen leaked kind of indicates Bruce Allen was the leak in the organization #Redskins #HTTR

Josh Norman says IF Ron Rivera is hired there will be a “night and day” difference in the culture. Says he’d be excited to be part of it. Says no guarantee he stays just because it would be a Rivera/Wilks pairing. He obviously had success with them in Carolina.

Josh Norman is asked into the locker room, a scrum formed and he put his speaker up and played @thegreatkhalid’s ‘Better.’ The lyrics including, “nothing feels better than this.”
