Yet another member of the Phoenix Coyotes' executive team has jumped ship. 

President and chief operating officer Mike Nealy left the organization to become the executive director of the Fiesta Bowl.

The team's co-owner, Anthony LeBlanc, issued this statement regarding his decision, via Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic:

On behalf of the entire Phoenix Coyotes organization, we would like to congratulate Mike Nealy on being named as the new executive director of the Fiesta Bowl. For the past eight seasons, Mike has done an outstanding job for the Coyotes and we wish him all the best with his new position.

This leaves the Coyotes with two prominent front-office jobs rendered vacant. They are currently searching for an assistant general manager after the departure of Brad Treliving.
