Nick Caserio - New GM

It's guaranteed.


Those New England guys can always go back... it's like home. He & Eliot Wolfe could share stories about what almost was.

Not if he leaves on his own volition as you suggest. If Nick walks, he forfeits his salary.

The same way the McNairs were endeared to Jack is the same they were endeared to Lovie. Lovie isn't so much interested in getting them fired as he is in having full control of all football operations. In order for Lovie to take the job, Lovie insisted on doing it his way, not Nick Caserio's or Jack Easterby's way. I imagine the McNairs made it clear with a full understanding that the contracts for the New England dynamic duo were too expensive to eat.

Therefore, a promise that the duo would be marginalized to stay out of Lovie's way was made instead. The overall behavior of the people involved since Lovie has been hired certainly seems to bear this out. Personal behaviors and language have certainly changed. As explained earlier, the dynamic duo know that it is in their best interest to join Lovie's team and be a team player. It may not be what they wanted it to be, but it is much better than anything else they've on the horizon. Trust me, you wouldn't walk away from $25 million either.

Just like you're saying Lovie used his position to negotiate with Cal, Nick could tell him the same thing. "If that's what you are going to do, let me go."

If so the McNair's are idiots.

I honestly don't think Caserio hired the guy he wanted when he fired Culley. Like you've been saying all along, Culley was a placeholder. But the plan wasn't to fire him after one year. I think Flores being available moved Caserio's plan up. He wanted Flores (we'll find out when they get to that part of the Flores lawsuit).

Gannon was the best of a worst situation. Gannon didn't want to play Caserio's game, Caserio moved on. Option A: Flores... Option B: Gannon... Option C: Lovie. I think it's totally plausible that Cal liked option C once Option A fell apart. But I don't think he overrulled Caserio.
Click to expand...
Let me push back a little. If Caserio wanted to hire Flores, he could've done it January 14 or 15. Flores was fired January 10th, Flores the 13th. He could've interviewed Flores and offered him the job. The lawsuit was February 1st, 20 days after Flores was fired. If they hired him after firing Culley, the lawsuit probably never happens.

Why wouldn't Easterby still be in the good graces of the McNairs? Nothing has changed from that standpoint. Jack also knows that the McNairs are the goose that laid his golden egg. So, it's highly probable the McNairs went to Jack to tell him, Lovie is now in charge of team chemistry, culture and the locker room. They now need Jack to be less of a football guy and more spiritual advisor and guidance counselor for personnel in the organization. What do you think Jack is going to say? Take your millions of $$$ and shove it, I'm out of here and walk away from his millions? I think not.

Now put yourself in Lovie's shoes. The McNairs come to you in desperation to discuss you becoming the HC of the Houston Texans. Being a two-time HC in the NFL, are you just going to agree to continue to play 2nd fiddle to Caserio's and Easterby's silly games? I think not. Or are you going to say, OK but if I agree it will have to be on my terms? My terms are I must have full and complete control of all football operations. Be the face and spokesperson for the Houston Texans. Refuse to be another David Culley puppet. And I must answer to no one but the owner and CEO of the franchise. I think so.

After my listening to Caserio's and Lovies latest audio/visual interviews since Lovie has been hired, I sense the latter is exactly the case. Lovie is now in charge.

Why would the McNair's want to make such a decision after hiring a GM only a year ago? Straight out of the gate was the Culley debacle that cost them $22 million. On top of that there was taking $0 in dead money in 2022 and turning it into $60 million in dead money in less than year. Those two events likely became a burr in the butt of the McNairs. It became clear that Caserio is not the guy they thought he was. It is also perfectly understandable that after wasting almost $100 million in less than a year, it was an easy decision for the McNairs to be so agreeable to move in a new direction.

I agree & said so.

That post was in reply to a person who believes Caserio had a plan which included hiring Culley as a placeholder until he could improve the team situation then hire the coach he "really" wanted.

Which I thought was feasible at one time. But the way things played out I no longer believe.

But if I'm going to argue the thoughts of people who believe that way, that's the way it is going to look.

Sane people will find all kinds of holes in it.

Your underlying issue is going off of what you read in the media. And the media is wrong more often than not.

You have this idea of how a team should function but you don’t know if that even works.

That goes for all of us, too.

We create these fantasies of what is going on behind the scenes like we have some insight. Then some people start believing it and canceling season tickets.

Seriously - if this upsets you that much you need another hobby.

Only worry about the things you hav control over.

Unless of course the McNairs say he's staying, much like they told Gannon that Lovie was staying. So, you can relax now, Easterby is no longer the menace that he once was. Easterby is still available to hold the McNairs hand when needed. Just a little minor reorganization in the Church on Kirby. Heck, Easterby may even be Cal's best video game buddy.

Exactly. It's ironic that for years, SteelB has complained about Rick Smith not taking input from Kubiak and drafting a QB. Yet, the organization structure he wants today, would lead to the GM making similar one-sided decisions.

What I don't want is someone named McNair being the tiebreaker. The GM, the HC, the EVPoFO, but not a McNair

That's what we've had since the inception & that's why we couldn't get past the paper tiger stage.

McNair has been wishy washy, going from Kubiak to Rick to O'Brien to Easterby to Caserio...

I'm hoping Cal hasn't changed his mind & is still backing Caserio.

No, doesn't mean I want the GM to hire the asst ball boy. But the coach should work for the GM.

Beginning of last year, their HC search went through a haunted house process ONLY to be able to hire David Culley. And then less than a year later it cost them $22 Million to get rid of him. To compound this fiasco, they could have hired Lovie last year and saved all that money. They also started last year with $0 in 2022 dead money and dead money now is up to $60 million and that's before the 2022 year starts. The Houston Texans are burning a lot of cash and have absolutely nothing to show for it. That has to burn somebody's butt.

The 2022 version of finding a new HC was much like another trip thru the same haunted house from last year. Their first choice filed a lawsuit against the league, the lawsuit made it impossible to hire their 2nd choice and their 3rd choice withdrew when told he could not hire his own coaching staff. STRIKE THREE! More than a month after beginning the process the Houston Texans were back in square one in their hunt for a new HC. Time for DESPERATION was here.

What we don't know is how many other perspective coaches were contacted and said, thanks but no thanks. Knowing that number would probably scare the bejeezus out of everyone. McDaniels and Mayo were automatic givens to be the next HC but neither interviewed, so that should tell you something. McDaniels did not even talk with Caserio and Easterby, what the hell does that tell you? The McNairs know how many coaches turned down an interview because they were not interested in being a part of Caserio and Easterby Circus. Maybe it was enough for the McNairs to say, Hey, we need to do something different here, something DESPERATE!

Things were probably worse than we know, stuff we don't even know about. They were already a league embarrassment before STRIKE 3. It's difficult to imagine the McNairs not being at their wits end facing another 2021 fiasco in 2022.

I kind of agree with Lovie running the show we might be screwed. I'm not a fan of the coaching staff he has assembled so far. However, I do think the Texans are in a better position than they were with Caserio and Easterby running the show. Lovie deserves a chance and I'm willingly to give him his due. That said, based on his recent history, he's on a short leash, with me anyways.

Back from a power tip mod ban.

It, is a hobby and almost 50 yrs of watching football lets me know what a successful football franchise looks like and the way the Texans are run ain't the way successful franchises are run.

The draft is my hobby, the Texans are just the team I happen to root for, this doesn't mean I think they will be successful as long as Janice is alive. Good thing is she's 85 yrs old. Even then there's no assurances that the other McNair spawn will want to cash out which might make Calhoun have to sell the team. It's still looking like it's going to be a dark decade.

As far as controlling things I can control goes, I'm going to be doing that in a few different ways. For instance

1. Come Monday it will be alright. I will no longer be a Texans season ticket holder. 1st time I can say that since 2003.

2. I will no longer be a TT contributor. No further discussion is needed.

I already feel liberated. Love me some Buffett

I wanted Kubiak to run the franchise back then.

So yes, I wanted 1 person making the final calls and being held responsible for those calls. Nothing has really changed in my thought process. Just as nothing has changed in the current way in the way the McNair's have always done business.

Calhoun did what Dungy told him to do. He went with his gut.

I'm not in an emotional state. I've decided to give my money to orgs that I feel are honest and treat people fairly. This is why I'm asking the Mods to remove me from the Contributor's club and why (Like Buffet sings) Come Monday I will no longer be a season ticket holder. Even though that means I will be eating my 2022-23 season ticket money and PSL money. This is the consequences of me making bad choices with how I've spent my money in the past and the types of people I've been dealing with.

Quoted for truth, Texian appears to have been correct. This org hasn't changed the way they do business at all since Bob McNair passed way. The names may change but the McNair name remains the same.

Texian should be paying you rent.

Janice and Cal are owners of a corporation. As any with any ownership you have employees. If they make decisions you feel will put your corporation at risk of lawsuit you step in. That isn’t hard to understand. And at the end of the day everything is speculation. So you are making decisions on speculation.

It’s a lie to say Janice and Cal lied to you. It is inherently understood any owner can over rule any GM/Operations manager. It is closer to the truth to say it happens in all 32 franchises than to say it doesn’t.

Instead as fans we got a 63 yr old retread that has never won anything and given him more power.

Like I've said before this is a very McNair type hire and nothing has changed down on Kirby. When this fails Caserio and or Lovie will be blamed, when this really should all fall on the McNair's.

Define up and coming. Why are the examples you will provide “up and coming” Does that mean there is no way they can lose. How do you know they are better? Because they are young? Do they have a man bun? I see this bs all the time…this “up and coming“ bs without any substantiation. Bottom line…nobody knows crap.

I thought correctly that RS wasn't good at his job.

I thought correctly that Derrick was a selfish person

I didn't think Cal would flat out lie, but he did. What I expected Janice /Cal to do was let Caserio do what they said they hired him to do. Run the football opps division. (They lied)

Now it appears that the Texans boardroom model that hasn't worked for the last 20 yrs is back in vogue down on Kirby. I'm not down with financially supporting another 2 decades of that.

Now as far as coming on here and BS'ing with y'all I will continue to do this, but no more money going out to authoritarian regimes.

I just finished watching the Caserio presser and interview. I'm going to say WOW. I thought Nick did a very good job from the Combine podium. I was impressed. Clearly Caserio is more relaxed when he is in his element. By that I mean being the table setter, the administrator, not the manager. Nick is not a manager, he was clearly in over his head and he was uncomfortable in that position. It clearly showed. Today acting as the administrator that he is Nick was comfortable and was able to articulate and answer questions well.

When Nick is talking scouting players, Combine, mechanics and technicals he knows his stuff and does a good job of talking the talk. Nick clearly cedes authority to Lovie. All the accolades aside, questions do remain. Nick is not general manager material. The Patriot drafts over the last decade with Nick in charge of preparation were some of the Patriots most disappointing. He could do much better working with Lovie.
