Caserio shouldnt get the blame for hiring Culley and Lovie Smith, back then nobody wanted a piece of the Watson drama, and the mess that BOB left here, also Easterby still was on Cal ears, and also the Lovie hire was more about the Flores lawsuit.
There is no way Caserio is leaving for the corpse that is the Patriots. He is reaping the rewards of navigating the sewer that was the Texans 3 years ago.,
wouldn't be too big a deal if Caserio left. he has been hit or miss in drafting. I think the Texan's GM job would be extremely appealing to candidates (awesome QB on rookie contract, popular head coach, playoff ready, no income tax). Relative to the other GM jobs available, I would think this one would be people's first choice.
Why would anyone leave such a good situation? All he has to do is draft mostly defensive players and thats with the help of Demeco. CJ is gonna make anyone they draft look good on offense. I remember looking back at the patriots draft classes with Brady and I think they drafted like 4 wide receivers that entire time and all of them were 3rd round or later. It was wild. They threw all their resources into defense and line. Caserio would be an idiot to leave, but if he did, ****'em. This franchise is a honey hole for anybody who gets it.
I think he`s done a great job for what he had to work with, when he got here it was a complete dumpster fire, why would he want to go back to the Patriots which will be a dumpster fire. Sounds more like gossip than anything else.............
I think you could put a blind monkey in charge of the Texans and they'd probably be OK at this point.
He’s literally one of the top choices for GM of the year after his last 2 draft classes looking insanely good… LOL.
As long as that blind monkey is more competent than Bill O'brien at running a team. So yeah, probably. In all seriousness, if there ever was a time to be aggressive in FA, now is it. You've got a budding star QB on a rookie deal. It's early but what you might have to pay CJ and Will Anderson in a few years will make the cap situation look a lot different.
Absolutely correct. The SB window is the most potent when you have a young stud QB on a rookie deal. The fact we already have a franchise LT is icing. Add in young stud DE/CB on a rookie deal and knock me over with a feather.
Green , Pitre, Metchie, Deculus, Quitoriano, and Pierce have all looked like bad to awful picks this year. and Stingley has only been great when healthy. not sure how you can call his 2022 draft class 'insanely good'. Basically its Stingley who has been great when healthy and Harris who looks pretty good.
So this is the entire problem with journalism today. WaPo writes an entire article and puts together an entire news bomb based on conjecture from a random ass GM who doesn't know **** all about the situation. In fact, if the "journalist" from WaPo went to the Colts, Jags, or Titans GM and asked them, "Hey dude....you think Nick Caserio would go back to the Pats??", why the hell WOULDN'T they say, "Oh yeah, for sure, totes!" It causes discord and creates doubts in their division rival, it's purely anonymous, and it's complete conjecture that doesn't need any type of verification. And now with social media, that little ember of nothing turns into a raging inferno of ****ery in no time. Anyone with a brain can see that the Texans situation is 54000x better than the Pats right now, and Caserio himself has played a big part in that. When he walked into this situation, it was flaming dogshit. He grinded and put up with a LOT of **** to FINALLY get us where we are today, and I'm supposed to just accept that he'd be open to going back to a situation that is as shitty as the one here from 5 years ago?? And all because what....an "anonymous" GM said, "trust me bro, he'd go back." FOH
Man those numbers projected out look a lot like Greenard's numbers. Only difference is Greenard is about to make 20 mil per season.
Agreed, I just dont get all of the Caserio hate around these parts. He's done a great job in FA, draft. The only guy he may have missed on is Green and the jury is still out on that because of injury. He's done a great job of filling in parts during the season due to injury. Signed during the season to replace injured guys, Offense Jones/Kendrick Green/Dieter Defense Tartt/Barnett/Sanders/Carson-Houston/King/KJ. This doesn't even take into account cheap solid FA signings like Rankins/Fant/Nelson/Ward/Schultz/Brown etc... What more do some of you posters expect from Caserio? He's done a fine job and Ryans has said that he and Caserio are on the same page when it comes to the type of talent that needs to be acquired. This is the 1st time this has happened down on Kirby since the franchises inception.
There has been chatter for months that if the Patriots part ways with Belichick, Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio, a former longtime member of the personnel brain trust in New England, would want an opportunity to return to the Patriots as their general manager. But based on my conversations with league sources, Houston is where the 48-year-old wants to be. Why would Caserio want to leave the Texans after leading the way in drafting a star-studded rookie class led by quarterback C.J. Stroud? He also hired DeMeco Ryans in 2023, and the relationship is flourishing. Caserio is on his way to building something special, and he wants to stick around to chase after his seventh Super Bowl ring, this time with the Texans. The Athletic
We could only be so lucky for Caserio to take the New England job. Texans would get better while the Patriots would get worse. His 2022 draft may be the worst of all time. Just basically gave away 3 valuable picks by drafting trash.
