The Washington Redskins continue to reshape the organization in various ways, from the front office on down.
One of those ways is making spots under head coach Ron Rivera official.
According to ESPN’s John Keim, the team announced several assistant coaching hires Tuesday:
“Redskins assistant coaching hires that are official so far: Scott Turner (OC), Jack Del Rio (DC), John Matsko (OL), Chris Harris (DBs), Pete Hoener (TEs), Ben Jacobs (assistant STs, Sam Mills (DL), Jim Hostler (WRs), Vincent Rivera (quality control), Brett Nenaber (director of athletic performance), Richard Rodgers (assistant DBs), Drew Terrell (assistant WRs), Brent Vieselmeyer (assistant LB/nickelbacks), Travelle Wharton (assistant OL), Luke Del Rio (quality control), Steve Russ (LBs).”
Some of these, such as Scott Turner at offensive coordinator and Jack Del Rio at defensive coordinator, were well-known items.
Others, not so much. Assistant line coach Travelle Wharton was a former Panthers player who joined the staff under Rivera there.
And Drew Terrell was an offensive quality control coach alongside Turner in Carolina before his newly announced gig, assistant wideouts coach. Defensive backs coach Richard Rodgers worked with the secondary in Carolina, too.
