Bill Belichick is straightforward and doesn’t sugarcoat things.
The six-time Super Bowl-winning coach released a statement on the Houston Texans’ hiring of former Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio. Belichick was very complimentary of Caserio, who he has worked with since 2001, the beginning of the Patriots’ dynasty.
“Nick Caserio is one of the hardest working, dependable and team-oriented people I have worked with and his ability to handle a wide array of responsibilities is unique,” Belichick said in the statement. “Nick’s contributions came on a daily basis and ultimately led to years of success and six championships, for which I am very appreciative. He did an excellent job for us and is extremely deserving of the opportunity to be a general manager.”
Caserio had been the director of player personnel for New England since 2008. The John Carroll University alumnus takes over as the fifth general manager in Texans history.
