Seahawks Hire Brian Fleury as Offensive Coordinator
The Seattle Seahawks are hiring San Francisco 49ers run-game-coordinator/tight ends coach Brian Fleury as their new offensive coordinator on Sunday, sources told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Fleury has been a trusted assistant to 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan since 2019 and will now head to the NFC West rival to call plays for the defending Super Bowl champions. It was looking like Seattle would promote from within to replace Klint Kubiak, who departed to become the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. Fleury started his tenure in San Fran as a defensive quality-control coach and spent the next two years as an offensive quality-control coach before becoming the TEs coach in 2022. The 49ers run a version of the West Coast offense that Kubiak ran in Seattle, so the move to hire Fleury shouldn't represent a drastic scheme change for quarterback Sam Darnold and the rest of the offense.
