Former NFL coach Jack Del Rio, the senior adviser to Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell, will resign after he was arrested early Friday and cited for operating a vehicle while intoxicated following a crash in Madison, Wisconsin.

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.
