faba Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 10, 2006, 2:42AM Texans GM mystery ends today Casserly expected to resign during talks with McNair By MEGAN MANFULL Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle Texans general manager Charley Casserly is expected to resign during a meeting with owner Bob McNair today, ending weeks of speculation regarding Casserly's future with the organization. Casserly, who joined the franchise in 2000, has spent more than a month deflecting questions regarding his plans beyond this past month's NFL draft. He and McNair said repeatedly that they preferred to focus on the draft for the past few weeks. Casserly continued his stance of not discussing the issue, and no other Texans officials would comment on today's meeting. There have been inaccurate reports that Casserly will be fired. Casserly is a candidate to replace Art Shell in the league offices in New York as vice president of football operations. The position is being filled temporarily by John Beake, a longtime club and league executive. If Casserly leaves, the leading candidates to replace him are expected to be Rick Smith, Denver Broncos assistant GM, Reggie McKenzie, Green Bay Packers director of pro personnel, and Ron Hill, a former personnel director for the Broncos, Jacksonville Jaguars and Atlanta Falcons. Casserly's future has been in question since McNair hired Dan Reeves as a consultant Dec. 12 without discussing it with Casserly. Reeves is no longer with the team, but as soon as he was hired speculation swirled that Casserly would resign after the draft. Despite the shadow of uncertainty during the past few months, Casserly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbn007 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I guess Cassidy lost a power struggle for Bush, instead of Mario. My money for the replacement is Smith from Denver. Keep the ol' connection going (Reeves, Kubiak). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
