Being let go from CBS, to be replaced by Jason LaCanfora from NFL Network.

Why is that of interest here? Well, take a look at his work history.

Casserly was with the Washington Redskins from 1977 till 2000 when he became GM of the Texans. As of 1982, he was named the Redskin's Assistant GM. Guess what GM he was assisting in that role (Hint: He was the mentor to a guy we all know very well).

Marty Hurney joined the Redskins organization in 1988 after having covered the team as a reporter for the eight years prior. He stayed with the organization (PR department) till 1990 when he bolted for San Diego along with Bobby Beathard. That was when Casserly took over the full GM title in Washington.

Obviously, there'd be some level of familiarity between Hurney and Casserly. Are they friends? No idea. Searching the net for articles including the two of them yielded only discussions about Hurney by Casserly in his role as an analyst for CBS. None of those referenced any personal relationship. And if Hurney has ever mentioned Casserly in any other forum, I haven't heard it.

That said, you can expect a guy with as much NFL experience as Casserly might not be too opposed to jumping back in the fray rather than staying on the media side (say, as a consultant or some such).

Could that be with the Panthers? Don't know. No reason I can see at this point to hold a high expectation of it.

Still, given that he and Hurney should be at least somewhat acquainted, I'd say it's worth making a mental note.

I remember Charley Casserly chirping the poo out of Cam Newton.. "This isn't punt pass and kick now, in this league you gotta throw the ball... The thing about this kid is he just doesn't see it" etc... Do you really want this guy as a talent evaluator? Only good thing he did in his career from my knowledge is picking Mario Williams. He can Suck a d. Do not want :)

Someone buy the man a retainer or something for his overbite also.

We've already got a Director of College Scouting that, by most accounts, we're pretty happy with. Doubt there'd be changes there.

There is also a pro scouting department, of course. As well as general organizational stuff, and of course "consulting".

Mind you, I'm not set to predict anything. To me, it's just one of those "hmmm, that's interesting" type of things.

So, he was fired from NFL Network?

CBS. Jason LaCanfora is moving over from NFL Network to replace him (not fired, contract's up).

Oh, I was hoping he was done with NFL Network. I can't stand this dude on there.

i thought casserly was leaving nfln... ? i saw him thank everyone saying he enjoyed his time there the other day.

anyway, he annoys the poo out of me. his voice is just unbearable. no comment on him joining the organization. though houston has certainly improved without him.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By strato · Posted

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
