Jack Louis Del Rio Jr. (born April 4, 1963) is head coach of the Oakland Raiders of the National Football League (NFL). A linebacker for four NFL teams between 1985-1996, he played both football and baseball for the University of Southern California Trojans.
Del Rio began his coaching career as an assistant strength and linebacker coach with the New Orleans Saints. He was the linebacker coach on the Super Bowl XXXV-winning Baltimore Ravens, and defensive coordinator on the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos. He served as head coach of the league's Jacksonville Jaguars from 2003 until 2011, the second in team history, and took a second head coaching job, this time with the Raiders in January 2015.
Del Rio was born in Castro Valley, California to a father of Spanish and Italian descent. He attended Hayward High School in Hayward, California where he developed into a notable three-sport athlete.
In football, he helped his team win a North Coast Section 2A Championship. In baseball although he was the starting catcher, in one game he was used as a pitcher and struck out 16 in a playoff game against Mission San Jose-Fremont. He and former Seattle Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu were teammates in baseball and football.
Del Rio was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 22nd round (550th overall) of the Toronto Blue Jays, out of high school, but opted instead to accept a scholarship from the University of Southern California to play both football and baseball.
