Updating Ron Rivera's First Staff

Ron Rivera's still not done yet. One big name is lingering. One veteran coach that reportedly was coming, hasn't just yet. A few names that we don't know much of anything about are in the fold.

Here's the latest on Ron Rivera's first coaching staff with the Redskins, per John Keim of ESPN. 

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),... https://t.co/rQPMH8WvIa

As Keim details fully in the tweet: 

Redskins assistant coaching hires that are official so far: Scott Turner (OC), Jack Del Rio (DC), John Matsko (OL), Chris Harris (DB's), 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).

We should point out, just for clarification purposes, the only hires that the Redskins have confirmed in print by the Redskins are Turner and the elder Del Rio. 

So who are some of the new guys?

Vincent Rivera is head coach Ron Rivera's nephew and has served as a defensive quality control coach for the last two years on the Panthers staff. 

Travelle Wharton played for Rivera and then began coaching for Rivera in 2018 and assisting with the offensive line. 

Drew Terrell was on Rivera's staff in Carolina as well. Surprise! He's also coached at Virginia Tech and Michigan as well. You can follow him on twitter here. 

This list does not include the reported Chris Cooley addition nor does it include Ken Zampese, who is expected to be the quarterbacks coach.
