I just don’t understand why Casserio gets the ultimate pass. There’s a pile of things he did horribly, there’s the actual results which are also horrible. He seems to get praise for the things he does adequately. Has there ever been a team that hires to fire two coaches in consecutive seasons? The 2022 draft is looking rough, I can’t fault the Green pick that was bad luck, but if Stingley can’t stay on the field again (as he has thoroughly demonstrated in college and rookie year) he needs to wear that failure.
I give them credit with how they have been very successful at pulling the wool over the fans eyes on the trade up. Very well executed sleight of hand there, they’ve framed it as getting both players when they already had one, they’ve made people think that the #12 pick can’t bring in a difference maker (Micah Parsons hold my beer), that edge rusher is like the QB position, it’s not there’s only on QB on the field when there are many pass rushers. They thrown it out there like you NEED a high picked edge rusher to have an Elite D when the Cowboys and Eagles had elite rushes without a high picked guy.
This is the guy that just said and I quote “We don’t control what the record is”. WTF? I’m not understanding why he isn’t getting crushed for that. Casserio seems to have some matrix level bullet dodging abilities.
It’s tough to say but this team will be better in the long run if they have a bad season this year so it blows up in his face precipitating a change, because he has demonstrated repeatedly that he has little strategic long term vision and GMs year to year. You can’t reach the highest level with that. Who wants a GM that doesn’t think he controls the record?

While I don't entirely agree with your post, I do like big chunks of it. Over the recent years there's been a lot of strange goings on at Kirby. He inherited an absolute dumpster fire. I don't think a majority of gm's would've succeeded given the same circumstances.
That doesn't mean I'm calling an amnesty international hot line on his behalf. (800-266-3789) So please don't mistake this post as me giving anyone a free pass.
It's just, I've always had this stupid feeling that somewhere in a dark wet basement near reliant, there's a giant leather-bound log book. And in this book, a beady eye'd clerk who rarely speaks and smells like fish keeps track of every major franchise move.
When the owner overrides a decision or a majority of coaches and scouts want something Nick doesn't, he jots it down. He tracks accountability, and every Monday after the last game this book is walked up to the owner's office.
If you listen closely, you can hear Cal mumble the same thing every year. "Damn, sh*t, f***, again? Me?"
Who's accountable for what? As fans, no one will ever tell us and we're left fighting amongst ourselves. We see the end result but never the how or why. The ledger knows and so does a lonely old clerk strongly resembling Uncle Fester.
That explains why Nick is still here.
This IS a "prove it year" for Caserio though. Without a spike in progress, he's next in line as a sacrifice to the fans. That's a separate book Cal keeps all to himself...
