Caserio to replace Daboll
Posted by Albert Breer at 4:42 pm

Nick Caserio — the Patriots director of pro personnel for the last three years — has been tabbed to replace Brian Daboll as wide receivers coach with the team. Daboll left for the Jets last week.

Caserio has been with the Patriots since 2001 in a variety of roles. He worked as a low-level assistant in 2002, his only full-time assignment on the coaching side. Also, when Ivan Fears took medical leave during the 2005 training camp, Caserio filled in as running backs coach. His first job with the Patriots, in 2001, was as a personnel assistant. In 2003, he served as an area scout.

Caserio was a college teammate of Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels at John Carroll in Cleveland. Ironically, the new receivers coach was a quarterback throwing to McDaniels, a wide out, who now also serves as the Patriots’ quarterbacks coach. Following graduation, Caserio was a graduate assistant for two years at Saginaw Valley (Mich.) State.

Hopefully he can be here for more than a year before the Jets try to grab him.
Good to see a loyal man move up the ladder.

 

[upstater1]

That's very odd. He was tapped to replace Scott Pioli if Pioli ever left. Hey, maybe Pioli can become the QB coach?

Anyhow, check out this interesting article on Caserio, McDaniels and London Fletcher.

Another John Carroll alumnus?

London Fletcher.

 

[MoLewisrocks]

Not so sure it's moving up the ladder as much as branching out perhaps on the road to GM'dom.

As usual we stay in house. It's all about familiarity with the system.

I'm waiting for the day when BB hires a coach who started out as a concession at the Razor as a position coach some day - It's like BB's runninga coaqching school fro gusy who want to get into coaching. So, now who gets the Director of Pro Personel job?

Thomas Dimitroff, most likely. He's the college scouting coordinator.

Kyle O'Brien and Adam Peters are the only two pro scouts.

 

[PonyExpress]

Hopefully Caserio's Central Michigan roots can help provide insight on intriguing prospects LT Joe Staley and DE/OLB Dan Bazuin.

I forget which Bowl game it was (Motor city??) but Bazuin just dominated that game no matter what they threw at him.....

As for Caserio, enjoy the quote, it will probably be the last one from him for a few years..................

 

[PatsFanSince74]

this is Kremlinology reminiscent of the cold war days, but perhaps this is a sign that pioli isn't going anywhere for a while and that they are giving Nick some broader experience either as part of an eventual succession plan for Pioli or simply because he asked to become part of the week by week coaching staff.

It may have been the East/West shrine. He was a monster and won MVP.

 

[DarrylS]

Kinda like Troy playing both sides of the ball, Caserio knows the FO and now will know how it is implemented. It is all about depth in all areas.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was exactly what he was trying to do. Education of a Coach describes in great detail what Belichick's life was like when he was one of those guys, working in his first job with (ironically) the Colts. As seen with the McDaniels move to offensive coordinator, he neither underestimates nor ignores good coaching talent, even in young upstarts, and gives them opportunities that he perhaps wishes he got.

 

[mgteich]

With the brain trust of Josh and Nick as OC, QB coach and WR coach, the passing game cannot be in better shape. Their college connection and knowledge from a top football program will overwhelm the league.

I need to learn to read slower. For a minute there I thought it said he went to PETE Carroll University!
