This was coming, ever since Shell left his office as NFL VP of something, Caserly was rumored as the strong frontrunner to fill his spot.

-->Charley Casserly resigned after six years as the general manager of the Texans today, ending weeks of speculation regarding his future with the organization. Casserly, who joined the franchise in 2000, had spent more than a month deflecting questions regarding his future plans. He and Texans owner Bob McNair said repeatedly that they preferred instead to focus on the NFL draft for the past few weeks.

With the draft finally behind them, Casserly and McNair sat down to a meeting Wednesday. Afterward, the organization announced Casserly was ending his tenure in Houston.
Casserly is a candidate to replace Art Shell in the league offices in New York as the vice president of football operations. The position is currently being filled temporarily by John Beake, a longtime club and league executive.
Some of the leading candidates to replace Casserly are expected to be Rick Smith, Denver Broncos assistant general manager, Reggie McKenzie, Green Bay Packers director of pro personnel, and Ron Hill, former personnel director for the Denver Broncos, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Atlanta Falcons.
Casserly's future had 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 - along with coach Gary Kubiak and vice president of administration Dan Ferens, the Texans' chief contract negotiator - put together what appears to be the Texans' most successful offseason. They landed a number of quality veterans prior to the draft, and then shocked everyone by choosing defensive end Mario Williams with the No. 1 overall pick.
Ever since 2000, Casserly has played a major role in the organization. He was a part of the coaching search that eventually landed the team Dom Capers, and then the one that later chose Kubiak. Casserly has also been in charge of every draft in which the Texans have participated, and spearheaded the Texans' free agent acquisitions and trades. Casserly made his NFL debut with the Washington Redskins in 1977 as an unpaid intern under Hall of Fame coach George Allen. He spent 23 years in the Redskins' organization before joining the Texans.

Fired for not taking bush?

Casserly was out before the draft ever started. He's not out for not taking Bush at all. The owners were fully behind that pick and it was the correct pick for that franchise. He's leaving to fill a position he's known about for a while. Nothing more nothing less.
