HOUSTON -- Nineteen seasons into the Houston Texans’ franchise history, they’re still searching for an identity and developing a culture.
And, of course, they're still seeking that first championship.
Now, team CEO Cal McNair hopes he’s empowered a duo that knows what a winning culture looks like. In hiring Nick Caserio, the former New England Patriots director of player personnel, as the Texans’ fifth general manager in team history, McNair will pair him with another person from his Patriots past: executive vice president of football operations Jack Easterby.
Regardless of how fans associate Caserio and Easterby’s names and what they think of trying to create an organization that is run similarly to the Patriots, this is a step in the right direction for the Texans.
