Ron Rivera spent the 2024 season away from football after he was fired by the Washington Commanders. In 2025, he'll return to the game— but in a far different role than he's used to.
On Wednesday it was announced that the University of California would be naming Rivera the general manager of the Golden Bears' football program, pending approval from the board of regents. In February Rivera announced he was returning to his alma mater, and reports at the time suggested Rivera would be joining the university in an administrative-type role. This certainly qualifies.
