From Field to Sideline: Rivers' Next Play?
4 Jan
Summary
- Philip Rivers may be a head coach candidate this cycle.
- He is expected to get at least one interview opportunity.
- Rivers' recent NFL return may have sparked his coaching interest.
Philip Rivers has concluded his playing career, stepping aside as rookie quarterback Riley Leonard prepares to start the Indianapolis Colts' final game of the season. The team was eliminated from playoff contention last week, marking the end of Rivers' on-field involvement.
Despite his retirement from playing, Rivers is being considered for head coaching roles. Multiple sources indicate he is a viable candidate for this coaching cycle, with expectations of securing at least one interview, and potentially more. This interest from teams has been building, with background checks initiated last year.
Rivers' dramatic return to the NFL in December, after more than four years away from the game, appears to have reignited his passion for the sport. This unexpected comeback may have paved the way for his potential transition to a head coaching position in the near future.
