Former NFL head coach Jack Del Rio will resign from Wisconsin's coaching staff after being arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

According to Madison police, Del Rio's car hit a street sign, broke a fence and came to a stop in a yard at about 12:35 a.m. local time on Friday.

Del Rio, 61, was taken by police to a local hospital for a blood draw, according to the incident report.

Del Rio joined Badgers head coach Luke Fickell's staff this season as a senior adviser. Fickell addressed Del Rio's arrest in his weekly Monday press conference.

"He's going to move forward and he's going to resign and move on," Fickell said. "But 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 later released a statement:

"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. 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 the head coach of the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars from 2003-11 and the then-Oakland Raiders from 2015-17, compiling an overall record of 93-94.

He has also worked as the defensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers (2002), Denver Broncos (2012-14) and the Washington Commanders (2020-23).
