Around 12:30 a.m. Friday morning, Del Rio crashed a vehicle into a street sign and broke a fence before coming to a stop in a yard.

Witnesses directed the responding officers to Del Rio, who was walking away from the scene, according to the report. Del Rio, 61, showed signs of impairment and told police he was driving, the report said. He was charged with first-offense operating while intoxicated and was released.

“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 to USA TODAY.

He added: “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 coached the Jaguars from 2003-11, when he was fired after Week 12. He went 68-71 and made the playoffs twice.

The Denver Broncos hired him as defensive coordinator for three seasons before he had another chance as a head coach, this time with the Raiders (2015-17). He made the postseason in the 2016 season with the "Silver and Black" but a 6-10 campaign the next season led to his dismissal.

Del Rio was the Washington Commanders defensive coordinator under Ron Rivera for four seasons (2020-24) and was fired before the end of that regime's final season in charge.

Del Rio played in the NFL for 10 years following his collegiate career at Southern Cal.
