Brian Fleury is now the man trusted to keep the Seattle Seahawks offense humming after its championship rise. Just days after lifting the Super Bowl LX trophy against the New England Patriots, Seattle moved quickly to fill a sudden void on its coaching staff.
Change arrived faster than celebration faded.Seattle’s decision followed Klint Kubiak leaving to lead the Las Vegas Raiders. The search did not linger. The Seahawks turned to a familiar rival assistant with a steady climb and a reputation for detail. The timing matters. This offense is not rebuilding. It is protecting something it worked hard to become.
Brian Fleury joins Seattle Seahawks as offensive coordinator after Klint Kubiak exit
“The Seahawks are hiring Brian Fleury as their offensive coordinator, sources tell The Insiders.
A trusted assistant to Kyle Shanahan in San Francisco since 2019, Fleury now heads to an NFC West rival to call plays for the defending Super Bowl champs,” Tom Pelissero reported.At 47, Brian Fleury arrives after seven seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, where he built his value patiently. He began on defense, then grew into run game coordinator and tight ends coach. Along the way, he earned trust from Kyle Shanahan and helped shape one of the league’s most reliable offensive systems.
Now he inherits a unit that already believes in itself. Seattle averaged 28.4 points per game last season, third best in the league. Jaxon Smith-Njigba blossomed into Offensive Player of the Year. Sam Darnold completed his long redemption arc with a championship. Stability, not rescue, is the assignment.Fleury’s tight ends background could quietly shape the next step. Young players like Elijah Arroyo and AJ Barner may find larger roles as the offense evolves.
His run game experience also matters, especially with Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III due for a new contract. Keeping Walker in Seattle could be as important as any play call Fleury makes.Seattle explored other options. Quarterbacks coach Andre Janocko was considered but instead joined Kubiak in Las Vegas. In the end, Seattle chose continuity in philosophy, even if it comes from a division rival.The roster remains strong. The expectations remain higher. And now, the responsibility shifts to a coach who has waited years for this kind of trust.
