Former Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera will visit the Washington Redskins on Monday morning and is the favorite to be their next head coach, multiple outlets reported Sunday evening. NBC Sports Washington reported that unless something in Monday’s meeting goes wrong, Rivera would have total personnel control, including final say on the team’s 2020 draft, with the possibility that Washington names a full-time general manager after the draft. One NFL Network report said Rivera expects a deal to come together quickly, and another NFL Network report said the belief is the Redskins are Rivera’s preferred destination. The Redskins fired head coach Jay Gruden after an 0-5 start, naming Bill Callahan interim head coach. He has expressed interest in the full-time head-coaching gig, but it’s unclear if the team has seriously considered him for the job.
