NFL insider sets the record straight on how Nick Caserio was hired

Wednesday on The Killer B's, the guys react to the latest comments from Texans CEO Cal McNair regarding his expectations for the Houston Texans this season. Just when things were settling down after the Deshaun Watson trade, McNair mentions the Texans being in contention for the playoffs as soon as this year.

We're all for having a positive outlook, and the vibes have been good recently after Nick Caserio did a great job securing a tremendous haul for Watson, but playoffs? In the loaded AFC?

Maybe just talk about being happy with the direction of the team, and leave it at that. We get that he wants to say positive things about the Texans, but talking about making a playoff run this season makes him seem as out of touch as we know he truly is. Just sit back and let Caserio do his job, and I'm guessing Nick's not too excited about playoffs being mentioned as a possibility this year. Nick knows better than anyone how much work needs to be done before this roster is ready to compete.

But if the draft goes well, who knows what could happen in 2023 and beyond. Slow your roll for now, Cal.
