The Houston Texans have made it official and announced Nick Caserio as the club’s fifth full time general manager.
“The Houston Texans are an organization committed to excellence. Since the start of our search, we have been steadfast on identifying a general manager that embodies what it means to be a Houston Texan, and it is Nick Caserio,” Texans chairman and CEO Cal McNair said in a statement. “Nick is an incredibly hard worker, disciplined, a man of integrity and high character. He has a tremendous amount of experience building a winning franchise and we have faith he will continue his success as a Texan. Nick has an unparalleled reputation around the league amongst his peers. We couldn’t be more excited to name him our new general manager and to welcome his family to Houston.”
Caserio comes from the New England Patriots where he was the director of player personnel since 2008. Prior to that, Caserio was in the Patriots organization phasing in and out of the ranks of coaching and the personnel department. Overall, Caserio has been with the club since 2001. All of the Patriots’ 20 years of success, from the six Super Bowl wins to 19 consecutive winning seasons, was accomplished with Caserio in New England.
“On behalf of my wife Kathleen and our entire family, I’m very humbled and honored by this opportunity to be the general manager of the Houston Texans,” Caserio said in a statement. “We would like to thank Janice, Cal and Hannah McNair for their belief in us that we can build something special that embraces the accomplishments of the past and accepts the challenges in front of us in our desire to be best. This moment would not be possible without the support and guidance of those that have invested in me personally and professionally. We are forever grateful to the Kraft Family, Bill Belichick as well as the entire New England Patriots organization that has blessed our family in ways we can never repay. Our goal now is to serve the Texans organization and the Houston community by putting together a team that we all can be proud of on and off the field.”
Caserio was a quarterback at John Carroll University and led the Blue Streaks to a 33-7-2 record in the four seasons he started. As a two-time captain and three-time All-Conference performer, he helped John Carroll to a 10-2 record in 1997 and qualify for the program’s second appearance in the NCAA Division III tournament.
The Lyndhurst, Ohio, native earned his degree in finance from John Carroll, and earned a master’s of business from Saginaw Valley State. Caserio is married, and his wife, Kathleen, have three daughters, Whitley, Chatham, and Charleston.
