Didn't Rivera used to be a defensive coach of some type with the Eagles before he ended up in San Diego? So there's a familiarity between the two guys. Plus he's probably costing the Panthers nothing as Philly is still paying him what's owed on his contract. I think Richardson has been pretty vocal about thinking there will not be a CBA in place for next season, so he's probably cheaping out as much as possible thinking there will be no season.
