Nick Caserio is at this moment being interviewed by the Texans for the GM.
Death to Google Ads! Texans Talk Tip Jar! 🍺😎👍
Thanks for your support!
Caserio is smart enough to be aware of a snake when in his midst...............Easterby was also supposedly O'Brien's close friend. With friends like that, one needs no enemies.You’re out of your mind if you think Reverend Jack Osteen is going anywhere if Nick Caserio becomes the Texans’ GM. You’re forgetting that Caserio was O’Brien and Easterby’s handpicked guy. The “Patriot way” has not and will not work without the GOAT TB12.

the fact Caserio is still willing to come here and be interviewed for the position knowing Easterby isn’t going anywhere, tells me that he doesn’t think of Easterby in the same way you and everyone else apparently does.
if I’m him and I did think that about Easterby, I ain’t coming here for an interview under any circumstances. Also if somehow I set that aside and was willing to listen and actually accept the gig, my acceptance would be contingent on Cal jettisoning Easterby immediately.
Caserio knows what he has in Easterby. I am sure...should he be offered and he accept the GM position with the Houston Texans, it will be because Cal has given him authority to keep or drop Easterby at his discretion.
That doesn’t make sense really. Simply put even if you know there’s a supposed snake in the grass, you don’t go towards it if you can help it, you go away from it. I’m sure Houston isn’t the only team courting his services so why even entertain the overture if there’s a guy there that you know you don’t like?
I think they all are willing to back stab each other. Smith/Kubiak. Gaine/OB. Preacher/OB.
Chaos is a ladder.
Disappointing news! Smh
On the radio? Still has Caserio on his twitter page.So Pancakes confirmed, Boyd or Kahn and not Caserio
Dude.... sorry, forgot the
Ya know... since he's always right with the info he puts out there
meh, to endorse that belief you have to believe all these guys have the mindset of climbing the corporate “ladder” & I don’t believe that to be the case. Most of these guys are football lifers; IOW’s they’ve been indoctrinated in the same team mindset and culture since grade school & they really only care about ball.
aside from that, the NFL is a small, tight knit group of individuals. If all these guys were the same, reps would be in flux.
You're looking at it all wrongThat doesn’t make sense really. Simply put even if you know there’s a supposed snake in the grass, you don’t go towards it if you can help it, you go away from it.
That's just what it looks like from our seats. I think it's time to realize the truth.I think they all are willing to back stab each other. Smith/Kubiak. Gaine/OB. Preacher/OB.
Chaos is a ladder.
Makes it hard to get that next job.It’s about job security too. Why wouldn’t Rick Smith throw Kubiak under the bus if that gets him more job stability? Why wouldn’t the preacher throw OB under the bus for more control?
You don’t fully understand.
It’s not the “corporate ladder.”
These guys are competitors in everything they do. They want to be number one. Win on the biggest stage in whatever they do whether it’s HC or GM. To say they care more about being working together singing merry melodies is a fantasy. It’s just like in other work places when two divisions may rival one another.
It’s about job security too. Why wouldn’t Rick Smith throw Kubiak under the bus if that gets him more job stability? Why wouldn’t the preacher throw OB under the bus for more control?
But there are different ways to go about getting up that ladder than throwing your rival under the bus bro..and it’s far easier to play the game and move up said ladder than engage in GoT style politics and move up like you’re suggesting; especially on that level.
I’ve only really seen what your talking about in 1 organization recently with Freddie Kitchen and the Browns...& that dude didn’t last 1 year on top before being removed. Owners don’t want that type of turnover & nonsense, they want stability.
I witness this type of stuff all the times in the oilfield. Lol
I have been saying that since Bob McNair fired Gary Kubiak because he pulled Case Keenum in the 4th quarter in Jax and put in Matt Schaub. Asked why, Kubiak said Matt knew 100% of the playbook and Case only knew about 50% so Matt gave us a better chance to win. Bob had a hissy fit and temper tantrum on flight home and decided to fire Kubiak.That's just what it looks like from our seats. I think it's time to realize the truth.
Our HC/GM is not & may have never been our biggest problem.
Looks like it’s a done deal boys...View attachment 7308
Hoping he has all the connections the media claims he has.None of us should be surprised. They’ve been gunning for this dude. Hopefully it pans out this time.

Because Kubiak kept his lips zipped.Kubiak did well after here.
we all do...but that doesn’t mean it applies to the same degree in every line of work.
Because Kubiak kept his lips zipped.
He didn't throw anybody under any buses. He threw Matt Schaub to the wolves, but that's different.
The throwing people under the bus is rare. If you’re throwing your boss under the bus, not too many people are going to want to be your boss.Either way it’s not something rare.
Report: Texans were poised to hire Omar Khan as G.M.
Posted by Mike Florio on January 10, 2021, 1:44 PM EST
A year after the Texans were making headlines during the first week of the playoffs because they were, you know, playing, they’re making even more headlines this year by, you know, not playing.
The hiring of Nick Caserio to be the team’s new General Manager lit the fuse on a cherry bomb of dysfunction for the Texans, reinforcing the perception/reality that executive V.P. of football operations Jack Easterby is Littlefinger (if you’re a GOT fan) or Gríma Wormtongue (if LOTR is your bag).
The Texans paid Korn Ferry somewhere between $100,000 and $1 million (word is that it was $600,000) to line up finalists for the job. Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reported that the five selected by Korn Ferry were Texans director of player personnel Matt Bazirgan, Seahawks V.P. of player personnel Trent Kirchner, Steelers V.P. of football and business administration Omar Khan, Louis Riddick, and Ravens director of football research Scott Cohen.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Khan would have gotten the job, if the Texans hadn’t unexpectedly gone off the board to hire Caserio. (Schefter also mentions that his ESPN colleague Louis Riddick was the next choice after Khan, possibly for internal peacekeeping purposes.)
Schefter adds that “multiple people” within the organization, including quarterback Deshaun Watson, were upset by the decision to ignore Korn Ferry’s work and to hire Caserio. Team president Jamey Rootes, though not mentioned by name in Schefter’s story, also is believed to be extremely upset that the work done by Korn Ferry, with Rootes’ involvement, was thrown overboard. Some believe that it’s just a matter of time before Rootes leaves the Texans; at least one person believes that Rootes already has tried to resign, but that Rootes was persuaded to wait in order to avoid further reinforcement of the perception/reality of disarray within the franchise.
THE REST OF THE STORY
OK
Are we supposed to believe all of what Florio puts out there, or none.
Easterby went to owner Cal McNair’s house and talked him into hiring Caserio.

THE REST OF THE STORY
If Rootes has already tried to leave or wants to, why would he give a rats ass about the perception of disarray within the Texans? If anything that makes him look good.
Further if we are to believe this article by Florio, this seems like Rootes and the others are upset that they’ve lost Cal’s ear. Which is a problem for me personally b/c all this about Easterby seems to be shaking out as just being about office politics more than about hiring the best candidate for the job. Rootes commissioned Korn Ferry to come up with a list of guys, they were interviewed, but upon Caserio throwing his hat in the ring....a guy more qualified than all the candidates Korn Ferry came up with combined, Cal went with him. All he did was take the advice Dungy gave to him.
Further, wouldn’t Palcic fall under Rootes’ umbrella? Rootes is the leak.
Makes sense to me.
I think it's one of the undelings. Rootes is on record saying he's the guy that fired Palcic.
Probably at Cal’s direction based on something Easterby told Cal about her...& he was also probably reluctant to do so, but he himself would then be in danger of losing his job then...or Palcic told him not to fall on the sword....hence her tweet after she was fired “good will prevail”.
I think Palcic was running around telling all of her media buddies that is was Easterby who fired her and the reasons why and that's why the media went Bat poop crazy on Easterby.Makes sense to me.
I think it's one of the undelings. Rootes is on record saying he's the guy that fired Palcic.
