Report: Texans were to Hire Omar Khan for General Manger Role Before Suddenly Hiring Nick Caserio

Deshaun Watson is still very unhappy with the Texans organization, and the offseason story turns another page.

On Sunday morning, ESPN Insider Adam Schefter revealed further details on the Texans’ controversial hiring of former New England Patriots assistant Nick Caserio:

Had the Houston Texans stayed the course and followed the recommendation of the search firm Korn Ferry, they likely would have hired Pittsburgh Steelers vice president of football and business administration Omar Khan as their next general manager, league sources told ESPN.

Khan and ESPN Monday Night Football analyst Louis Riddick, who are both minority candidates, were the two finalists before Texans owner Cal McNair changed his mind, ignored the recommendation of the search firm he paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to do weeks of work and hired former New England Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio, sources said.
