Cal Football AD & GM Joins The Murph & Markus Show Weekly At 8:35 A.M. PT
Cal football athletic director and general manager Ron Rivera will once again be a weekly guest on KNBR 680 AM and 104.5 FM's Murph & Markus Show every Wednesday at 8:35 a.m. PT during the 2026 football season beginning Wednesday, Sept. 2.
The KNBR Morning Show will be live from California Memorial Stadium on September 2 to kickoff the season. In 2025, KNBR made history when it hosted its first-ever show on a college campus in Berkeley.
Rivera is in his second season as the Cal football general manager and first as its athletic director.
Rivera was inducted into the Cal Athletics Hall of Fame in 1994 just over a decade after playing four seasons (1980-83) for the Golden Bears. He capped his collegiate playing career by earning consensus All-American and Pac-10 Co-Defensive Player of the Year honors as a 1983 senior.
Rivera spent 36 seasons in the NFL as a player for Chicago (1984-92) and a coach (1997-2023) with stops in Chicago (twice), Philadelphia, San Diego, Carolina and Washington.
