Panthers indirectly involved in Texans GM mess

Hard to believe, but Texans ownership might be even dumber than we thought.

So how does it involve the Panthers? Thusly...

Frankly, the disarray traces exclusively to Easterby. He was losing power and influence. Some believed he could end up being fired. The prevailing story in league circles is that, as the team was closing in on hiring one of the Korn Ferry finalists, Easterby went to owner Cal McNair’s house and talked him into hiring Caserio.

Another source said that agent Bob LaMonte, who represents both Easterby and Caserio, made a well-timed phone call to McNair, explaining that Caserio was poised to become the G.M. of the Panthers, and that Caserio would take Easterby with him. (It doesn’t matter if it was true that Caserio was going to the Panthers; what matters is whether McNair believed it.)

Texans were poised to name Omar Khan GM

Wow :fear:

I really want Omar Khan in Carolina.... Tepper knows him from Pitt. Would be a younger version of Colbert and you know Pitt is going to promote him to that spot

Not an option right now, but we do have a guy who worked under him in Samir Suleiman.

Can't believe the Texans screwed Khan over that way though. That's some sh-t.

Caserio would have been a good hire, Easterby.....hell no.

I also wonder how much of this was the agent speculating and leveraging another team's vacant GM position for his client's best interest to land the job.

I wasn't a big fan of Caserio.

McNair was pretty stupid to fall for this though.

I don't think this is true.  Obviously I have no insider information, but I just don't get the impression Caserio is the kind of guy they were looking for.  Peters has always made far more sense.

I don't either.

Pretty sure LaMonte was bullsh-tting and McNair fell for it.

He's basically the Steelers Assistant GM. The only role we could offer him would be our GM job, and he wasn't one of our interviews.

 

I don't get it, why couldn't we decide to interview him and give him the GM position? Are you just saying we aren't interested, or that we can't hire him for whatever reason?

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
