Close<\/a>Brady Henderson is a reporter for NFL Nation and covers the Seattle Seahawks for ESPN. He joined ESPN in 2017 after covering the team for Seattle Sports 710-AM.<\/p>\n Multiple Authors<\/p>\n RENTON, Wash. — The Seattle Seahawks<\/a> are expected to hire San Francisco 49ers<\/a> tight ends coach and run game coordinator Brian Fleury as their new offensive coordinator, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Sunday.<\/p>\n The decision represents a pivot for the Super Bowl champion Seahawks, who began their search for Klint Kubiak’s replacement thinking they would likely promote from within.<\/p>\n Instead, they pluck from a division rival by hiring Fleury, who has spent the past seven seasons with the 49ers. He joined Kyle Shanahan’s staff in 2019 as a defensive quality-control coach and spent the next two seasons (2020-21) as an offensive quality-control coach before a promotion to tight ends coach (2022). Fleury added the title of run game coordinator last season.<\/p>\n Editor’s Picks<\/p>\n 2 Related<\/p>\n Kubiak spent one season as Seattle’s offensive coordinator before the Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> hired him to be their head coach after the Seahawks won Super Bowl LX last Sunday.<\/p>\n Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald interviewed four in-house candidates for the job. Among them was quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko, a longtime Kubiak assistant whom he is hiring to be the Raiders’ non-playcalling OC, sources told Schefter on Sunday.<\/p>\n The other internal candidates the Seahawks interviewed were run game specialist Justin Outten, tight ends coach Mack Brown and passing game coordinator Jake Peetz, a source told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.<\/p>\n Macdonald was seeking scheme continuity in his next coordinator, and although the coach didn’t promote from within as he initially thought he would, quarterback Sam Darnold<\/a> and the rest of Seattle’s offense shouldn’t have to start over entirely in 2026. The 49ers run a version of the West Coast offense that Kubiak — who spent the 2023 season in San Francisco — ran in Seattle.<\/p>\n Fleury, a Maryland native, played quarterback for the Terrapins and for FCS school Towson. He began his NFL coaching career with the Buffalo Bills<\/a> (quality control) in 2013 before serving as the Cleveland Browns<\/a>‘ assistant linebackers coach in 2014 and their outside linebackers coach in 2015.<\/p>\n
