I made my post based on internet articles on Riggo’s Rag and NBC Sports in the day of O’’Connell’s first interview. I think some of the sports writers assumed that because O’Connell was interviewed by Rivera and was still in the team that he had the OC job (all but five coaches had been fired).
Later reports put O’Connell’s status more in the air as I think Rivera wants to make sure everyone fights and applies themselves for their individual position. For example, Rivera specifically mentioned Haskins in the press conference and you would think that he would be a shoe-in because he was our #1 pick in the 2019 draft and had played in seven games - getting better every game ( the last two games were excellent). Yet, Rivera said that even Haskins might have veteran QB competition in training camp.
The message is clear: no one’s job is a lock or immune from scrutiny, with competition and challenges at every position.
O’Connell may have a lot of fan support , but the Redskin’s offense was last in the NFL in both rushing and passing in 2019. Rivera must be certain that KOC is the right man for a job as critical as the OC.
