After pursuing New England Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio, the Texans backed off their offer when the Patriots threatened to file a tampering charge. With Caserio off the table Houston is back to square one. With the new season fast approaching the chance of the Texans starting the season without a new GM grows.
The lack of a general manager at this point isn't fully detrimental. The team could decide to wait until next offseason to start a new round of interviews when there is more potential for a new GM to be available. This may in fact be a better option than trying to bring someone in with less than 80 days left before the start of the new season.
Caserio's contract runs through the 2020 NFL draft so if the Texans waited they could potentially get him next season without charges of tampering.
Another option is to hire Scott Pioli who recently stepped down as the Falcons assistant general manager to pursue other opportunities. Pioli has previously worked for the Chiefs and Patriots and could be a better fit with O'Brien in Houston. Time will tell what the Texans decide to do.
