At least one former player has big praise for Ron Rivera, potential next coach of the Washington Redskins.
While chatter about Rivera’s role as a leader of people has always been a thing, it isn’t often a direct quote about it goes out.
Gerald McCoy just changed that, per Will Kunkel of Fox 46:
“One of the best things to ever happen in your career is about to happen. One of the greatest men I’ve ever been around. One of the greatest coaches I’ve been around.”
It’s massive praise for Rivera coming from one of the most respected defenders in the league.
More importantly, this is the latest example of comments about Rivera suggesting one of the main aims of this potential hire is simply revamping the entire culture of the organization.
Ask McCoy, Rivera is the perfect man for the job.
What would Gerald McCoy tell players who are about to play for Ron Rivera?
