Overview
- Multiple outlets, citing NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, report teams have researched Rivers as a candidate with an expectation he could receive at least one interview this cycle.
- Rivers told reporters there is “nothing of concrete” regarding NFL coaching and said he plans to return to St. Michael Catholic in Alabama, though he did not shut the door entirely.
- Background checks on Rivers as a coaching possibility also occurred last year, when he was not willing to engage with pro or college opportunities.
- Only the Giants and Titans had head-coach vacancies entering the weekend, with more openings expected following Black Monday.
- Rivers, 44, re-retired after starting three games for Indianapolis in December, totaling 544 passing yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions.
