Ex-NFL head coach Jack Del Rio to lead Paris team

Former NFL head coach Jack Del Rio was named the head coach of the Paris Musketeers in the European League of Football on Friday.

Del Rio, 61, posted a 93-94 record in 12 seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars (2003-11) and then-Oakland Raiders (2015-17), leading his teams to the playoffs three times.

“We are incredibly excited to welcome Coach Del Rio to Paris,” Musketeers CEO John McKeon said. “His commitment to excellence and his passion for teaching the game will build upon the tone and culture that was set by our first coach, Marc Mattioli. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome him to the Musketeers family and continue building our winning tradition.”

Del Rio was the defensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders from 2020-23 before serving as a senior adviser to Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell in 2024. He resigned from that position in November following a car accident in which he was cited for operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

“I’m looking forward to working with this group of men,” he said. “We will teach, develop and compete.”

Founded in 2022, the Musketeers finished 10-2 in the regular season and reached the semifinals in 2024.

The franchise’s first head coach was former Vanderbilt assistant Mattioli, who compiled a 16-8 record before departing to become the defensive coordinator at Kennesaw State.

Paris kicks off the 2025 season against the defending champion Rhein Fire on May 17.
