2. Another Ron Rivera coaching connection
As well as McDermott and Rivera know each other, Leslie Frazier's relationship with Rivera goes back even further. Rivera and Frazier were teammates together for two seasons in Chicago, and both were members of the 1985 Bears team that won Super Bowl XX.
When Frazier was the head coach at Trinity International, he tried to get Rivera to join his staff after he retired in 1992. Rivera didn't want to coach at the time, but Frazier knew back then that Rivera would be a good coach. Every time the two would see each other, Frazier makes sure to remind Rivera about that.
"Eventually Ron went over and did some quality control work with the Bears," Frazier said.
"Next thing you know, we're both in Philadelphia as assistant coaches and I told him, I said, didn't I try to tell you that you were a coach, man, and one day you're going to be a head coach and a good coach. He said, 'yeah, yeah, I remember you talking to me about that.' So now, every time we get a chance to talk, I do remind him of that, that he owes me some residuals of some sort for getting him into this occupation, for sure," said Frazier jokingly.
