The Houston Texans requested to interview Nick Caserio for their general manager position in January. Bill Belichick denied the request. The Patriots head coach is well aware how important his director of player personnel is to the organization’s success.
Caserio is involved in everything from the day-to-day coaching operations to the waiver wires, from the press box to the practice field. He attends the coaches meetings, knows the game plans, and communicates with the offensive coordinator over the headset during games. That’s in addition to operating as the team’s de facto co-general manager.
“I can’t think of any other personnel person that would even come close to that,” he said.
