The Seattle Seahawks are expected to hire San Francisco 49ers tight ends coach Brian Fleury as their new offensive coordinator, according to @AdamSchefter of ESPN. The move marks a significant addition to the Seahawks coaching staff as they finalize their leadership for the upcoming season.
Fleury will step in to replace Klint Kubiak, who recently vacated the role after being named the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. By hiring Fleury, the Seahawks are bringing in a coach with direct experience from a division rival and a deep understanding of the 49ers offensive philosophy.
During his tenure in San Francisco, Fleury served as a vital part of Kyle Shanahan’s staff, specifically focusing on the development of the tight end position. His transition to the offensive coordinator role in Seattle marks his first opportunity to lead an entire offensive unit at the NFL level. The Seahawks are looking to Fleury to bring fresh perspectives to an offense that will now be under his direction.
Details regarding the length of the contract and the official announcement from the team are expected to follow shortly. This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
