Texans executive interviewing with Falcons
Texans assistant general manager James Liipfert – Texans assistant general manager James Liipfert is schedule to interview Thursday for the Atlanta Falcons general manager job. Liipfert was previously the executive director of player personnel and the assistant director of personnel/director of college scouting before being promoted to assistant general manager last year along with Chris Blanco.
Liipfert previously worked for the Patriots for nine years, spending three years as a national scout before being hired as the Texans’ director of college scouting. Initially hired by New England as a scouting assistant in 2009, Liipfert was an area scout for the Patriots for five years. He was hired after finishing up a college football career at Georgia Tech, where he was a three-year letterman at linebacker and on special teams after walking on and earning a scholarship. The Georgia native was an all-state selection in high school where he played fullback and linebacker. He was named Region Player of the Year. “I have a lot of respect for James,” said Texans general manager Nick Caserio, who worked with Liipfert in New England. “I’ve known him a long time. Probably known him as long as anybody in this building. Hired him as a scouting assistant. Finished his career at Georgia Tech. He hadn’t been involved in scouting, probably didn’t have much of an NFL career ahead of him. He knew that. “He wanted to get involved in football, so I hired him as a scouting assistant and he’s grown, done a great job. Great person, great family. Works really hard. I rely on him for a lot. He’s earned his opportunity, so credit to him. Whatever the Falcons decide to do, but hopefully he’s here helping the Texans. He’s fortunate to have the opportunity and I’m sure he’ll do a good job with it. Happy for James and see how it goes.”Copyright 2026 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.Aaron Wilson is an award-winning Texans and NFL reporter for KPRC 2 and www.click2houston.com.
