Chargers add Rivera to coaching staff

Football Betting Lines

02/20/2007 - San Diego, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New San Diego Chargers head coach Norv Turner named former Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera the team's linebackers coach.

With his contract set to expire next week, the Bears announced Monday that Rivera would not return for a fourth season as defensive coordinator, and the newly appointed Turner wasted little time adding Rivera to his coaching staff.

Turner was hired by the Chargers on Monday and replaces Marty Schottenheimer, who was fired just one week ago despite a 14-2 season.

Rivera was also one of six candidates to interview for San Diego's head coaching position.

Rivera was a linebacker on the 1985 Super Bowl Champion Bears team, and helped the organization return to the Super Bowl this past season. He coordinated a Chicago defense that ranked among the NFL leaders over the last three seasons. Over that span, the Bears recorded the highest percentage of points off turnovers in the entire league, scoring 322 of their 918 points off takeaways (35.08%) from 2004-06.

Rivera has 10 years of assistant coaching experience, with stops in both Philadelphia and Chicago.
