Former NFL head coach Jack Del Rio resigned as senior adviser to Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell after an OWI arrest early Friday.
Per ESPN.com:
Del Rio, 61, was arrested shortly after midnight Friday after a vehicle he was driving hit a street sign, broke a fence and came to a rest in a yard, according to a Madison Police incident report. Officers were dispatched to the scene, located west of campus and Camp Randall Stadium, at 12:35 a.m.
Witnesses directed the officers to the driver, who was walking away from the area, according to the incident report. No injuries were reported.
“I’m grateful to Coach Fickell and the University of Wisconsin for the opportunity to work with such a talented coaching and support staff and some of the best young football players in the country,” Del Rio said in a statement Monday. “I have decided to step away from my position with the team, so they can focus all their attention on the remainder of the season.”
Del Rio was head coach of the Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars. He held coordinator positions with multiple NFL teams
