The Seattle Seahawks are hiring San Francisco 49ers tight ends coach Brian Fleury as their new offensive coordinator, per The Insiders. The move brings a key member of a division rival's coaching staff to Seattle to lead the offense under head coach Mike Macdonald.
Fleury joins the Seahawks after a successful stint in San Francisco, where he led one of the most productive tight end rooms in the NFL. According to the report, he will take over the role previously held by Klint Kubiak. This appointment marks a significant step in the Seahawks' efforts to finalize their coaching staff for the upcoming season.
During his time with the 49ers, Fleury was a vital part of an offensive system that consistently ranked among the league's elite. His familiarity with the NFC West and the 49ers' offensive schemes is expected to provide a unique advantage for Seattle as they look to compete for the division title. The transition from San Francisco to Seattle keeps Fleury within the division, where he will now face his former team twice a year.
The Seahawks have not yet officially announced the full details of the hiring, but the move is expected to be finalized shortly. Fleury's experience working under Kyle Shanahan is seen as a major asset for a Seattle team looking to evolve its offensive identity.
