The Washington Commanders are expected to part ways with head coach Ron Rivera on Monday, according to a report.

The Commanders close their season against the Dallas Cowboys at home on Sunday and after a disappointing season that saw them go into the season finale at 4-12, it is reportedly likely Rivera's last game in Washington.

The franchise, under new owner Josh Harris, is expected to end the coach's four-season tenure Monday after the end of the regular season, according to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.

Harris had said when he took over that he and his consortium planned to let the season play out before any staffing decisions were made.

The report also claims that no decision has been made nor discussed with staff.

But after seven straight defeats, the decision to leave Rivera has reportedly become clearer within the organization.

General manager Martin Mayhew's future is also said to be in doubt, but a decision on his status could reportedly come at a later date.

Harris was always expected to put his own stamp on the Commanders after taking over the tumultuous tenure of former embattled owner Dan Snyder.

The Commanders head coach position is the most attractive in years after Snyder finally resigned amid controversy.

The organization is said to potentially explore a modified front office structure, with a football operations-type president overseeing the head coach and general manager.

Rivera, who celebrates his 62nd birthday on Sunday, has led the Commanders to the playoffs just once in his first season in charge.

Since then, Washington has gone 7-10 in 2021 and 8-8-1 in 2022 before this season's woes.

“Well, I'd like to think we're in a better place,” Rivera said when asked Jan. 2 about his tenure. “Probably a fair way to put it. I certainly appreciate my time here and we'll see what happens.”
