Former Commanders DC Jack Del Rio arrested for allegedly driving while intoxicated

Former Washington Commanders defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio is in the news again. Ron Rivera’s former defensive coordinator from 2020-23 was arrested early Friday for “operating while intoxicated after a car he was driving hit a street sign and broke a fence,” according to Adam Rittenberg of ESPN.

Del Rio, fired the day after Thanksgiving last season, joined the Wisconsin Badgers in August as a senior advisor to head coach Luke Fickell. Del Rio will reportedly resign from that role with Rittenberg receiving the following quote from Fickell.

“It’s a tough situation, decisions that all of us have to be able to take full responsibility for. So that’s what Jack will do, and we’ll continue to move forward.”

Del Rio, 61, played 11 seasons in the NFL before retiring and immediately jumping into coaching. He’s been a defensive coordinator for the Commanders, Denver Broncos, and Carolina Panthers and had two head-coaching stints with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Oakland Raiders.
