Ron Rivera has landed on his feet in Washington, D.C.

According to Mike Silver of NFL Network, the Washington Redskins hired Rivera to be their next head coach Tuesday. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network added Rivera is signing a five-year contract and that an announcement will be made Wednesday to confirm the hire.

Washington fired head coach Jay Gruden on Oct. 7 following an 0-5 start to 2019, and Bill Callahan finished the season as the interim head coach.

Rivera was linked to Washington on the last day of the regular season:

Washington also fired team president Bruce Allen on Dec. 30, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, after 10 years with the organization as reports continued to swirl that the hiring of Rivera was imminent:

Rivera became available when the Carolina Panthers fired him Dec. 3. He had been in Carolina since 2011, leading the Panthers to the playoffs four times and going 76-63-1 overall. The highlight of his tenure came when the team made Super Bowl 50, where it lost 24-10 to the Denver Broncos.

Carolina was 5-7 and riding a four-game losing streak at the time of his firing.

Panthers owner David Tepper disclosed what went into the "emotional" decision to part ways with Rivera:

Washington can feel good about the fact that his former players showed him support:

Rivera had lost steam in Carolina, finishing 2018 at 7-9 before petering out this season, but he had proved his ability to successfully lead a contender prior to that. The Panthers' lost 2019 could in part be attributed to the fact that All-Pro quarterback Cam Newton missed all but the first two games with a Lisfranc injury.

With Washington, Rivera will look to improve upon a 3-13 2019 campaign and has 2019 15th overall pick Dwayne Haskins to work with at quarterback. Washington has not made the postseason since 2015 and has not won a playoff game since 2005.
