Couldn't agree more. Many here say I hate Caserio because he's from NE. Not true, that is just the history that is against him. Cal, O'Brien and Easterby thought he was the best man for the job (now that scares the hell out of me). - STRIKE 1
His first decision was not to consider a college coach. I disagree, that is short sighted, limits field and scope, creates tunnel vision. Hires a coach with no coordinator or head coach experience. STRIKE 2.
Trades for Cannon, Izzo and Finley who would've been cut giving up draft capital that could've been used to move up for better, younger and cheaper players. - STRIKE 3.
Refused to take calls or discuss trading the quarter back. - STRIKE 4
Restructured 5 contracts and counting (maybe a record) in the first year of rebuilding borrowing over $30 million for 2022, 2023 salary caps to rearrange chairs on Titanic in 2021. - STRIKE 5
I would've hired Eliot Wolf who has more experienced and was trained by HOF GM(s) and Mike Renner as Asst GM; I would consider college coaches talking first with proven winners Luke Fickell and Kirby Smart;
I would NOT have traded for players who would've been cut anyways, trying instead to sign them as FA at cheaper price, keeping draft capital to move up for better, younger, cheaper, longer term players if needed;
I would've taken calls day 1 on DW4. I established a trade value of 6000 pts. As far I know I am the only one to do so. I would've included Cooks for 6500 points increasing draft capital (another 2nd RD) and reducing salary cap by $10MM;
I would not have restructured any contracts or borrowed money from future years. With JJ, Cooks and 4 or 5 players cut would've provided over $40 MM in cap space. Restructuring would only be used in emergency to trade DW4.
The above is my opinions of how to be prudent responsible rebuilding of a dumpster fire of a team. The Texans may end up with 1st pick in 2022 but that is part of the plan to improve draft capital. Since all of my opinions to improve and rebuild the team directly disagree with all of Caserios decisions is why I am not a Caserio fan and why I expect things to get worse.
