ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — The Washington Commanders fired coach Ron Rivera on Monday, according to a person with knowledge of the decision.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the move had not yet been announced.
It's the first major change made by new ownership after another lost season for the once-storied franchise. It came a day after the Commanders' season-ending 38-10 home loss to division-rival Dallas.
General manager Martin Mayhew and a majority of the front office and coaching staff are also expected to go, as Josh Harris and his fellow owners begin shaping the organization less than six months after buying the team from Dan Snyder.
