The Houston Texans ignored the recommendation of the search firm they had hired to help them throughout their general manager search, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Instead, they hired former Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio.
Per ESPN, had the franchise followed the recommendation of the search firm Korn Ferry, the franchise would have hired Steelers VP of football and business administration Omar Kahn as their next general manager. Monday Night Football analyst Louis Riddick was another of Korn Ferry's finalists before team owner Cal McNair changed is mind.
The Texans hired Caserio earlier this week.
