Buffalo Bills team owner Terry Pegula, who also owns the area’s professional hockey team in the NHL the Buffalo Sabres, has fired chief operating officer John Roth and senior vice president Kathryn D’Angelo. They both held positions relating to the two teams.
The pair were let go only months after they were appointed to their positions in a shakeup of the front offices.
The Athletic reported that the reasoning for the firing was romantic relationship between Roth and D’Angelo which was deemed professionally unethical.
According to the Buffalo News, Josh Dziurlikowski, a person also promoted a few months ago, was named interim COO. Longtime Bills executive Jim Overdorf will serve as the interim legal counsel.
Both outlets noted that replacements will be searched for from outside the organization.
Bills Wire will provide future updates when information is made available.
