4. Harmony in the locker room

The Redskins just finished a tumultuous season and there were complaints from the players about dysfunction at almost every level of the organization. A quick example was offensive tackle Trent Williams, who missed the season while saying the team’s medical staff failed to properly treat cancerous growths on his head. That kind of dysfunction will disappear with Ron Rivera. He’s a no-nonsense guy, but he also cares about the well being of his players. Rivera will quickly earn respect in the locker room.
