If Caserio ends up being a serviceable GM, it'll be the proverbial nut being found by the blind squirrel. But, it still doesn't give the squirrel the ability to see.
And it will never, ever qualify Easterby to be an Excecutive Vice President of Football Operations for an NFL franchise.
The inevitable is inevitable. It just takes time to reveal itself. Meanwhile. . .
Bob McNair knew how to run a marketing company and make lots of money. What he clearly did not know was how to run a football team, so he emulated the franchises that he believed did know how to do it. The last team he was emulating before his death was the Patriots, and Caserio was just a part of that perception.
So Cal, clearly never a man to think for himself, just did what daddy was going to do and lied, cheated, and attempted to steal to make it happen. He got caught because his attempt was so bush league, but the lying preacher man surely gave him some moral reflections to gloss it over and eventually waited out Caserio's contract.
McNair could have hired ANYONE in the NFL for what he paid Caserio, so it was a no-brainer decision on Nick's part. He's rich and still has multiple SB rings in his vault. I don't blame Nick for any of it. That offer was too good to refuse.
