Former Panthers receiver Steve Smith has harsh words for Ron Rivera

So Steve Smith just called into the show and had a LOT to say. Questioned Ron Rivera for both removing the ping pong tables in the @Redskins AND for hiring that “weak ass” offensive coordinator (Scott Turner) in DC.

It appears that former Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith has a few thoughts on the Washington Redskins new coach, Ron Rivera.

Smith, who played for several years under Rivera in Carolina, called into The Clubhouse with Kyle Bailey, a sports radio show in Carolina, and had a lot to say about his former head coach. According to Bailey, the host of the show, Smith questioned Rivera’s decision to remove the ping pong tables in the locker room, as well as his hiring of former Panthers’ QB coach and interim offensive coordinator, Scott Turner.

Smith played for 13 years in Carolina, a couple of which were under Rivera, and he was named to five Pro Bowls during that time. Rivera was also the coach of the Panthers when Smith was released by the team. He is now an analyst for the NFL Network.
