Ron Rivera’s Future at California Takes a Surprising Turn After AD’s Sudden Retirement
Knowlton, who has been the California’s athletic director since 2018, officially retired on Monday. Moving forward, the California football team, specifically head coach Justin Wilcox, will report directly to Rivera, ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported. The school has yet to announce an official replacement for Knowlton, but Rivera seems destined to take over the university’s football program.
Rivera, a California alum, is best known for his nine-year tenure as the head coach of the Carolina Panthers, followed by a four-year stint with the Washington Commanders, then known as the Washington Redskins and Football Team. The Commanders fired him at the end of the 2023 season, in which they went just 4-13.
