Cal football general manager Ron Rivera will appear weekly on KNBR 680 AM and 104.5 FM’s Murph & Markus Show every Wednesday at 8:50 a.m. PT throughout the 2025 football season, starting August 27.
Rivera is serving his first year as the Cal football general manager, a new position that gives him full oversight of the program.
Reflecting on his background, Rivera was inducted into the Cal Athletics Hall of Fame in 1994 after playing four seasons for the Golden Bears from 1980 to 1983. His collegiate career concluded with him earning consensus All-American status and Pac-10 Co-Defensive Player of the Year honors as a senior in 1983.
Rivera has also had a long tenure in professional football, spending 36 seasons in the NFL as both a player for Chicago from 1984 to 1992 and later as a coach from 1997 to 2023 with roles in Chicago, Philadelphia, San Diego, Carolina, and Washington.
“I’m excited to join Murph & Markus each week this season,” said Rivera. “It’s great to be back home at Cal and have this opportunity to talk about our team with fans across Northern California.”
KNBR serves as one of Northern California’s leading sports radio stations.
