News: Washington HC Ron Rivera announces he has cancer

[Carson]

Hope he gets better soon. I have no idea how people with cancer can handle such high stress environments and be as successful as they are. Pretty amazing.

on a side note. Has anyone looked at the washington coaching staff? Its all sons of former coaches and former players. If he is not feeling well or needs to be away from the team because of positive tests it will be interesting to see who is in charge.

They already stated Jack Del Rio would take over as head coach

Well there you go. I forgot he was there among the sons of the nfl.

Praying for him

thats a serious diagnosis and he should take time off if he needs it

I had the same thing about two years ago. My doctor told me basal cell is the most common kind and has the highest percentage of success to overcome. I haven't had any more trouble with it. Here's hoping you won't, either.

Awesome news for both of you!

I wish him the best of luck. I had a cancerous tumor removed from by bladder 2 years ago and so far it has not returned. I was very lucky that a UTI caused me to have to go for regular checkups which led to the early detection of the tumor. It sounds like Rivera's cancer was caught early too. I wish him the best and I hope he has a speedy recovery.

Congrats, brother! Hope you stay in the pink!

I imagine the doctors told him to keep coaching if he feels well, because it's better for him than sitting around, stressing over his condition.

I wish Ron well. Terrible news. When he coached here locally for the Panthers, he was always so classy and so involved in the community. Just a great man, in general.

You'd appreciate it even more if you'd ever had one!

Billy Joel has a song called "only the good die young." I will leave it at that.
