Adrian Sciarra is no longer the president of the Ottawa Redblacks, the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG) announced Monday. The organization says Sciarra will remain with OSEG and continue in his role as president and alternate governor of the Ottawa 67’s. Sciarra was named the team’s president in February 2023. OSEG says it has commenced an “immediate” search for his replacement. It says it expects to have permanent executive leadership for the team in place by the end of the year. “Our fans have been patient and they deserve better,” said OSEG CEO Mark Goudie in a news release. “We are making this change because the Redblacks need dedicated football leadership focused entirely on building a winning program. Our priority is to find a football leader with the experience, the CFL connections and the track record to help rebuild this club into a perennial Grey Cup contender. That search begins today.” The announcement comes as the Canadian football team was dealt its 15th straight defeat and an extended 0-9 winless season by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in a 33-21 loss last Friday. The team also fired its defensive coordinator Will Fields earlier this month.
