Sure is a great success story getting where he did from where he started. HOWEVER,,,,, it's offset by his disgusting record of horrible draft selections throughout his entire career and his failure at building an expansion team.

HoyaSkins28 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I dont want him. Any person who pick Mario Williams over Reggie Bush IS INSANE!!!!!! Unless Mario Williams becomes a Dwight Freeney or Julius Peppers, the Texans made the worst decision in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autograph Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Casserly enters his fourth season – but sixth year – with the Texans after a highly-successful 23-year stint with the Redskins. In Washington, Casserly was known for his tireless work ethic and a keen eye for football talent, traits that continue to serve him well in Houston. Washington went to four Super Bowls during Casserly’s tenure, winning three. NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue recently appointed him to the NFL’s prestigious Competition Committee for the second time. Casserly famously started with the Redskins in 1977 as an unpaid intern under Hall of Fame coach George Allen. Washington hired Casserly as a scout the next season and during his early years was a scout, he unearthed free agents Joe Jacoby and Jeff Bostic, who were original members of the famed “Hogs” offensive line and key components of Washington’s first two Super Bowl teams, as well as Nate Newton. Jacoby was selected to four Pro Bowls and Bostic made one trip to Honolulu. The Redskins elevated Casserly to assistant general manager in 1982 and the club went on to capture its first Super Bowl. That year, Casserly also re-instituted the club’s intern program, which has produced more than 20 league executives over his years in Washington and Houston. In 1987, Casserly faced perhaps the biggest challenge of his Redskins career when NFL players went on strike. League owners decided on replacement players, sending personnel men scrambling to fill roster spots. With about a week to assemble a full complement of replacement players, Casserly put together a team that won all three of its games before the strike ended, including a Monday Night win against a Dallas team that featured a number of its star players. That experience was the subject of the Warner Bros. feature film, “The Replacements,” starring Keanu Reeves and Gene Hackman. When he was elevated to GM in 1989, Casserly sustained the Redskins’ history of uncovering high-quality players in the later rounds of the draft. He used a fifth-round pick in 1990 to select Southwest Louisiana quarterback Brian Mitchell. Washington then converted Mitchell to a running back/kick returner, where he later joined Jim Brown as the only players in NFL history to lead the league in combined net yards four times. In 1996, Casserly plucked Auburn running back Stephen Davis in the fourth round. Davis paced the NFC in rushing in 1999 with 1,450 yards. Casserly also drafted future Pro Bowlers wide receiver Keenan McCardell (12 th round, 1991) and tight end Frank Wycheck (sixth round, 1993). And during the 1999 off-season, Casserly made moves that immediately benefited the Redskins. First, he traded three draft choices to Minnesota for signal-caller Brad Johnson. The eight-year veteran responded with a Pro Bowl season in 1999, throwing for 4,005 yards and 24 TDs. (Johnson led the Bucs to a championship last season, meaning Casserly traded for both Super Bowl XXXVII quarterbacks – he traded for Raiders quarterback Rich Gannon in 1992.) Casserly then fired the shot heard ‘round the league on draft day, acquiring all of the New Orleans Saints’ 1999 selections, plus their first and third-round picks in 2000. To do so, Casserly simply swapped the Redskins’ fifth selection in the first round for New Orleans’ 12th choice. He still managed to obtain the player that Washington wanted, ultimately selecting future Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey with the seventh pick in the first round. In part for those efforts, Sports Illustrated, Pro Football Weekly and USA Today named Casserly their Executive of the Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
