Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson took to Twitter not long after his team reportedly agreed with Nick Caserio as the team’s next general manager.
Caserio, currently the Patriots director of player staff, is from New England like the previous Houston regime. Ex-Texans coach and general manager Bill O’Brien, a former Patriots offensive coordinator, led the Texans with help from Jack Easterby, a former Patriots character coach. Houston fired O’Brien in October, but kept Easterby.
So maybe Watson isn’t happy to see the organization moving in the same direction with Caserio, another branch of Bill Belichick’s coaching and general management boom.
This is what Watson wrote on Twitter: “some things never change ….”
O’Brien infamously traded Watson DeAndre Hopkins’ best pass-catcher to the Arizona Cardinals during the low season of 2020. The move was one of many – including trading two first-round picks for left-wing tackle Laremy Tunsil – that led to O’Brien’s downfall in Houston.
Caserio is tasked with hiring a head coach for Houston. There’s no shortage of excellent options, including Chiefs Offensive Coordinator Eric Bieniemy, Bill’s Offensive Coordinator Brian Daboll and Patriots Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels.
