The Houston Texans on Thursday signed new general manager Nick Caserio.
“The Houston Texans are an organization dedicated to excellence. Since the beginning of our search, we have been determined to identify a general manager who embodies what it means to be a Houston Texan, and that is Nick Caserio, “Texas Chairman and CEO Cal McNair said in a statement. “Nick is an incredibly hard worker, disciplined, a man with integrity and high character. He has tremendous experience building a winning franchise and we believe he will continue his success as a Texan. Nick “He has an unparalleled reputation in the league among his peers. We could not be more excited to call him our new general manager and welcome his family to Houston.”
The Texans tried to interrogate Caserio in 2019, but were blocked by the Patriots. This time, Houston stabbed his husband.
“On behalf of my wife Kathleen and our entire family, I am very humbled and honored by the opportunity to be the general manager of the Houston Texans,” Caserio said in a statement. “We want to thank Janice, Cal and Hannah McNair for their faith in us that we can build something special that embraces the achievements of the past and accept the challenges before us in our desire to be the best. This moment would not be possible without the support and guidance of those who have personally and professionally invested in me.We are grateful to the Kraft family, Bill Belichick, as well as the entire New England Patriots organization who have blessed our family in ways we can never repay “The goal now is to serve the Texans organization and the Houston community by putting together a team that we can all be proud of on and off the field.”
With full-back Deshaun Watson under contract, the biggest building block for Houston is to build ‘something special’.
Caserio has spent 20 seasons with New England, much of the time as Bill Belichick’s right-hand man. The 45-year-old Caserio rejoins Jack Easterby, co-former Patriots office in Houston.
Caserio’s first big decision with his new club is to appoint a new head coach to replace Bill O’Brien, who was sacked four games in the 2020 season.
