Career highlights and awards

Playing career

Caserio played his high school football at University School in Hunting Valley, Ohio from 1992 to 1994. Caserio then attended John Carroll University, where he played football as a quarterback from 1995 to 1998. A three-time academic All-Ohio Athletic Conference selection, he was also a teammate of Patriots offensive coordinator and then-John Carroll wide receiver Josh McDaniels and Washington Redskins linebacker London Fletcher.

Coaching career

College

Caserio began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Saginaw Valley State University from 1999 to 2000, earning his MBA at the same time. In the spring of 2001, he served as a graduate assistant at Central Michigan University before being hired by the Patriots.

New England Patriots

In 2002, Caserio served as an offensive coaching assistant coach for the Patriots before shifting back to the scouting department in 2003. In 2007, Caserio moved back to coaching as the Patriots' wide receivers coach. While still remaining a part of the personnel department, Caserio assisted the offensive coaching staff during the 2009 preseason, which included new wide receivers coach Chad O'Shea and tight ends coach Shane Waldron. Caserio also continued to assist the coaching staff from the press box during games along with football research director Ernie Adams.[1]

Executive career

New England Patriots

In 2001, Caserio was hired by the New England Patriots as a personnel assistant. Caserio moved to the scouting department as an area scout in 2003. In 2004, Caserio was promoted to the Patriots' director of pro personnel, a position he served until 2006. In 2008, Caserio returned to the personnel department, as the Patriots' director of player personnel. He remained in that position even after Vice President of Player Personnel Scott Pioli departed in 2009 to become general manager of the Kansas City Chiefs; former Tennessee Titans general manager Floyd Reese was brought in as a "senior football advisor."[2] During Caserio's tenure with the Patriots, his position as director of player personnel did not give him final say over the roster; that power was held by Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.[3]

Houston Texans

On January 7, 2021, Caserio was named the general manager of the Houston Texans after spending 20 seasons with the New England Patriots.[4][5]

Personal life

Caserio earned his degree in finance from John Carroll University and later earned his master's of business administration from Saginaw Valley State University. Caserio and his wife, Kathleen, were married in June 2009, and have three daughters, Whitley, Chatham and Charleston.[6]
