New England director of player personnel Nick Caserio could be emerging as the leading candidate to become the Texans’ new general manager.
Caserio is in Houston to interview on Tuesday for the Texans’ vacant general manager’s job.
Caserio, 45, earned six Super Bowl rings with the Patriots and is one of the most respected personnel experts in the NFL. He’s been Bill Belichick’s right-hand man on personnel decisions for more than a decade.
Multiple teams pursuing general managers are interested in Caserio, but the Texans have a close connection to him.
Caserio is close friends with Texans’ executive vice president of football operations Jack Easterby. They worked together for six years before Easterby was hired by the Texans in 2019.
After owner Cal McNair fired Brian Gaine as general manager in June of 2019, he put in a request to interview Caserio, and the Patriots threatened to file tampering charges. The Texans withdrew the request.
Caserio just completed his 20th year with the Patriots, the last 13 as director of player personnel. He’s the first candidate the search committee has interviewed in person.
When teams are eliminated from the playoffs, candidates can do in-person interviews or continue to do Zoom conference calls. Candidates with teams in the playoffs must do virtual interviews.
Caserio began his career with New England as a personnel assistant in 2001, Belichick’s second season as the head coach and the first of the Patriots’ six Super Bowl victories.
In 2002, he was an offensive coaching assistant before returning to the personnel department in 2003 as a scout. A year later, he was elevated to director of pro personnel.
In 2007, Bill O’Brien’s first year with the Patriots, Caserio coached wide receivers before his promotion to director of player personnel in 2008.
