More from Rap: Sense is that Obrien doesn't want to have to worry about personnel anymore and that's part of why they fired Gaine. He wants a GM he can trust to handle personnel without him.
More from Rap: Confirm McClain's earlier report, says they had been hearing that Obrien was really unhappy with the scouting process this year (not the players they drafted, they apparently love their guys) but just didn't like the process. Was hearing that OB was very grumpy in the building, wasn't sure why until Gaine was fired. Confirms this has been building and isn't about Caserio.
Rap on Easterby: Disputes Lopez's report that Easterby has more power than OB now (shocking!) and says he's actually OB's right hand man not above him. No change in the power structure with OB being the main voice. Other name if they can't get Nick Caserio: Ossenfort from NE would be the next target.
It would be very telling if the Pats put in all that effort to block us from Caserio but not so much for Oseenfort. Still can't wrap my head around this fascination with former/current Pats FO/Coaching personnel.
They literally can't block Ossenfort at all. It appears to be a gray area now on Caserio where they are trying to argue a technicality.
We have the excuse for 2021 now: we are failing because of personnel which is not BOB's responsibility. BOB needs another year and maybe we should give him control of personnel.
Same. Shows how narrow minded their thought process is that they are not willing to look at personnel anywhere else. They don't have any intel on hot upcoming coaches or front office personnel with any other teams? Might be nice to have a different perspective.
Agreed, seems like the narrative is to say "things have been building..." All this we are aligned, blah blah... We may never know the real reason but time to move on...
If they confirm Caserio as their GM, they literally cannot block Ossenfort. And what if.... OSSENFORT WAS THEIR TARGET ALL ALONG?!!!.... #3DChess (mind blown)
Came across this the other day. They didn’t differentiate between denied and declined though. But looks like he interviewed with the Dolphins and few years back. “Declined Colts Request in 2012, Dolphins and rejected the position after offered (2014), Declined 49ers Request in 2017, Declined Texans Request in 2018.” https://footballmaven.io/texans/api...ng-at-general-manager-sR7LoJK5n0mltSEQrUFtOw/
well there something happening, this is wild.. I really think this guy wants the houston job, and patriots are mad
The Patriots filed tampering charges Wednesday against the Houston Texans for the attempted general manager hire of Nick Caserio, league sources told ESPN. The NFL now is expected to gather relevant informant to open its investigation against Houston, per sources. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) June 12, 2019 The #Texans firing GM Brian Gaine the night after the #Patriots ring ceremony set off some alarm bells. Now, it’s on the league to look into the situation and make a ruling before Houston proceeds. — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) June 12, 2019
This is absolutely correct, and for those that are unhappy with the way things are unfolding at the Texans headquarters can go ahead and start rooting for the Tennessee Titans
