Ron Rivera

Dave Gettleman has a deep respect for Ron Rivera, who he inherited during his time as general manager of the Carolina Panthers.

While Gettleman didn’t hire Rivera, he didn’t fire him, either. As a result, the two got the Panthers to 15-1 in 2015 and then went onto the Super Bowl, so the history of success is quite obvious there.

Some may look at Rivera’s career record of 76-63-1 and wonder if that’s enough of a resume to lead New York, but he’s one of the best options and most obvious fits out there.

Well, with the exception of his desire for personnel control…

However, if the Giants want Rivera, they will have to act lightning fast as he’s expected to meet with and be hired by the Redskins on Monday. The clock is ticking.
