Houston hires Nick Caserio to be GM
 

More New England trash, these teams will never learn.

LMAO

So is Josh McDaniels next?

Finally hired him. Maybe if they got him before the 2019 season they'd not be in a world of shit.

So the remedy for Bill O'Brien is another bellichick stooge? Houston gonna Houston.

Understandably Texans fans seem to be devastated

He was teammates with him in college. I would say very likely.

Maybe we'll start seeing all the Pats guys fleeing the ship here.

If they hire McDaniels those Colts/Texans games will be fire.

What a shit franchise. Enjoy mediocrity, Texans!!

Doubling down on stupidity and failure.

It truly boggles the mind. The people who run half the franchises in this league are honestly just plain dumb. There’s no cute or fancy way to say it. They’re just idiots.

What a terrible idea. Plus they still have that creepy pastor guy making trouble.

Look at how awful the Faketriots have drafted the past several years now... amazing there are still sucker teams who are willing to buy into the Faketriots Way bullshit.

They passed on DJ Metcalf, Terry Mclaurin, AJ Brown, Mecole Hardman for N'Keal Harry.


:mad:

Deshaun Watson might as well keep making as much as possible from that organization as they don't have a desire to win.

Watson needs to bad mouth Belichick to get traded. They probably need to trade him & restart anyway

Probably trade Watson to New England for nothing knowing those idiots.

This is classic overthinking.

It doesn’t matter how bad you are. If you have a young franchise QB you don’t need to trade him.

I think the point is that bellichick stooges underthink and will bring in players and coaches who suck off the bellichick teat vs the best available player.

Imagine taking ****ing N’Keal Harry over Dick King Metcalf.

If this happens Watson should demand a trade

Holy brother****ing hell.

I have no idea why in the depths of ****ing hell anyone would go back to brother****ing Cheatriot.

I’m beyond words

(Mike Garafalo)The #Texans interviewed Matt Bazirgan, Trent Kirchner, Omar Khan, Louis Riddick and were scheduled to interview Scott Cohen. Sources say those five were on the final candidate list search firm Korn Ferry presented to the team.

Nick Caserio was not.

Jack Easterby is a wizard.


Uh Mike, you're dumb...

Jack Easterby is all Joel Osteen up in this bitch.

Yeah, in most circles that's called tunnel vision. Not wizardry. Why even hire a search firm when you only have one GM in mind. God I hate this mother****ing tree so much. I hope this fails miserably.

Jack Easterby is Littlefinger, that's the best comp I got.

Does Nick also know Carl the Janitor like Scott did?

I was talking about the part where he said they “probably need to trade him and restart”.

That's embarrassing

Anytime you can hire someone who has drafted 2 pro-bowlers in the last 8 years, you gotta do it.

That pick was reportedly another instance of Belichick overruling the scouts, and that's something Belichick does with frequency. Also reportedly, that sort of thing is part of why the scouts (and now possibly Caserio) have been leaving the Patriots in recent years.

Brady made him look like he was a better talent evaluator than he really was.

They had good/great draft runs in a couple of patches. They just followed that up with bad stretches, which isn't really surprising, because GM work is largely hit and miss. But there's no question that Brady made it easier for Belichick to take gambles on picks against the advice of the scouts, and he did it a lot.

The Chiefs, because of Mahomes, are one of the teams now in position to do that same sort of thing, if they choose.

Something to watch

He's not nearly that clever, despite the players saying that in the SI article. He's closer to the High Sparrow with McNair as Tommen.

Go back in time to 2013. The Chiefs have finally fired Pioli after years of protest by fans begging for a culture change. Clark Hunt goes out and hires not Andy Reid but......... Bill O Brien. That's how Texans fans feel right now. **** me.

Lol

I remember when the “Oilers” left town. I remember thinking, “Wow, it doesn’t get any worse than this for a NFL city.” Maybe I was wrong.

Limited draft picks & cap issues. Watson may have to be MVP for several seasons

It’s not necessarily the best 53 players— it’s the right 53 players

Yep. The NfL should have kept the name, colors and history there like Cleveland did the Browns

Poor Watson. He's going to be running either McDaniels' or Daboll's offense.

Allen seemed to benefit from it so who knows how Watson will fare in it.

Daboll could end up being good? Who’s knows? Stranger things have happened

I honestly don’t claim to know which of these guys will be good. Just what I’ve seen I guess Daboll seemed like a pretty good HC prospect. Not sure what all the negative vibes are about other than CP likes to shit on anything a non-Chiefs team decides to do.

Those words should be a banable offense. How dare you sir!

Haha

You don't remember the shit show offense that Daboll was in charge of here?

Wow! Not a good look for Watson.

Of course I remember. But he had no talent to work with on offense.

He’s done a good job in Buffalo

He might be a good HC or a bad one. None of us know yet.

It's got to be a huge kick in the balls thinking you've finally escaped the culture of OBrien and Easterby only for your team owner to show himself as completely full of shit.

Plus Watson knows Easterby the pastor behind the DHop trade.

Maybe, but unless he plans to try to force a trade this seems pretty dumb. (Trying to force a trade would be dumb, too.)

Some are saying he was reacting to the Jacob Blake cop getting off clean.

If that were the case I think he’d have clarified by now.

A couple things.

1. Now that all things Brother****ing Cheatriot have been scrubbed from Arrowhead, I’m fine with the competition doing dumb**** things like hiring Brother****ing Cheatriots. I do legitimately feel bad for Watson. Seems like a decent dude. Shit break man.

2. You don’t have to hope. It has failed miserably everywhere it’s been. Until it proves you otherwise, don’t worry about it. Foregone conclusion.

ROFL. Right?

WHAT

THE

****

That shits worse than Pennywise creeping around.

Duuuuude. He was ass here. And de berg can say all he wants about no talent but a monkey could look at a play card and draw up a play that sent Jamaal Charles to where dudes weren’t and throw him the ball. I don’t even want to hear that noise. What he did here is on the record. Like it or not.

Imagine taking Mecole "I Gots It!" Hardman over Dick King Metcalf.

They passed on DK Metcalf, too.

Texans are going to have to battle to dig themselves out of the pit they are in.

They don't have a 2021 draft pick until the 3rd Round and they are near the bottom of the league for Cap Space for 2021.

A story with some more information below.

Yep, I could see Josh McDaniels coming in as head coach and Matt Patricia being the new DC.

It was one year on a sinking ship with Matt Cassel and Romeo Crennel. Whatever he was then, he’s proven to be a pretty good offensive coordinator lately. Maybe he’ll fail as a head coach but if his one year as Chiefs o-coordinator 8 years ago is the entire case for that it’s pretty weak.

FYP

He was part of a much larger culture problem.

Charles did have a great season that one year he was here.

Daboll had Cassell and Brady Quinn as his QBs. Enough said there.

Is Deshaun the new Matty Stafford? Will everyone look back and say "Damn he was talented should have atleast challenged deep in the playoffs at some point."

He’s still got 10 years in him. That’s at least 2 more new GM’s and 4 coaches.

Exactly. Didn’t mean to downvote.

Daboll has a coach in McDermott who:

1. Doesn't care if they run Earhart/Perkins, he wants an offense that can win and

2. Isn't Patriot Way trash.

Daball as HC under Caserio won't be forced to tailor his offense to his QB's strengths, like he was asked to do with Allen in Buffalo.

Nah, I think it was about football.

https://i.redd.it/4quzziv5eq961.jpg

He’s sucked everywhere he’s been pre-2020.

Someone posted his history in one of these threads, SNR I think. It’s cringeworthy.

His entire body of work is not impressive at all.

He's done well with Allen but he's also working for a HC that has a very strong idea of how to run a team and his HC is not a E/P or Patriots guy.

He's been a position coach on some awful offenses (and one good one which featured Brett Favre at QB) but here's his scoring offenses as an offensive coordinator.

Hey, does anybody have that definition of insanity on hand by chance?

Where you have to give credit Daboll is being humble. He has failed at pretty much every stop as an OC prior to Buffalo. He only got another shot in the NFL after going to college and working under Saban.

There it looks like he soaked up the college game and his ideas now include all sorts of modern college concepts that were lacking before.

In Buffalo he was handed a QB with a rocket arm, size, and mobility. But Allen was not going to work in a Tom Brady Patriot offense where it is about fast processing and finding the open guy.

So Daboll created an entirely new offense designed to max out Allen and hide his weaknesses (processing the field, throwing with anticipation, knowing what to do post snap).

That's really what teams should look for now. Not someone that preaches a system and tries to jam the QB into it. Someone that will build around their QB and make them successful.

Why would a good head coach hire a bad offensive coordinator?

He started his career under Saban at Michigan State. He's part of the Belichik good old boy network. He's a Patriot Way jag off.

And as far as tailoring his offense, it's far more about Allen maturing than it is about Daboll doing anything right. Their offense was horrible last year.

Favoritism. The NFL recycles retreads all the time, how is this even a question?

The offense you see now started in Allen's rookie year. It was completely made after Allen got injured where Daboll turned it into "One Read and if that's covered Run".

That was needed because Allen doing pro-style reading a defense was a DISASTER.

I think so. But everyone thought the same for Bill O'Brien when he went to Penn state. A bellichick stooge like Caserio could be an enabler that reverts daboll back to the same patriot way habits. He may have some hope if he goes his own way. But feel like with Caserio and Pioli lurking he will get sucked back in.

And despite Daboll's changes, Allen still needed almost a whole season to "get" it.

If he goes to Houston, with Watson, he's going to have carte blanche to go back to his old offense and force it on Watson. The good news for Watson is that he's already familiar with those concept because he's been playing in an E/P offense already.

The bad news for Watson is that Daboll's version of the offense is terrible and the only time he's actually been decent is when he was forced to change the offense to specifically fit the QB.

yep
