Seahawks to hire 49ers’ Brian Fleury as offensive coordinator
Brian Fleury, a Shanahan-system insider and run game expert, joins Seahawks to maintain offensive continuity after their record-setting scoring season, sources say.
- On Sunday, the Seahawks hired Brian Fleury as offensive coordinator and play caller, about one week after their Super Bowl LX win, reports said.
- After Klint Kubiak left to become the Las Vegas Raiders head coach, Seattle searched externally despite Mike Macdonald's preference for internal continuity.
- Fleury arrives from the San Francisco 49ers, where he rose through Shanahan's staff since 2019 and added the run game coordinator title in 2025, coaching George Kittle to elite production.
- Three Seahawks — AJ Barner, Seattle tight end, Sam Darnold, Seattle quarterback, and Kenneth Walker III, Seattle running back — are expected to benefit from Fleury's hire, with Walker facing a potential run-heavy offense.
- The biggest question is whether Fleury has NFL play-calling experience, with the hire's timing shaping free agency, draft strategy, and staff ripple effects like Janocko joining Kubiak in Las Vegas.
