Patriots deny Houston's request to interview Caserio and Ossenfort

The Patriots have denied Houston’s request from interviewing Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio and director of college scouting Monti Ossenfort for the Texans’ general manager job, according to an ESPN report.

Caserio was allowed to talk with the 49ers last year, but apparently, is not being afforded the same opportunity this year.

According to the report, however, under the loosened league guidelines for hiring league executives from other teams, Caserio and Ossenfort still could interview for the Texans GM job after the Patriots’ season ends. But that remains to be seen. The Texans are currently interviewing several other candidates for the post.
