The Seahawks have reportedly settled on Kubiak\u2019s replacement. According to ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter, Seattle has agreed to hire San Francisco 49ers coach Brian Fleury as the team\u2019s next OC.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Seahawks are expected to hire 49ers tight ends coach Brian Fleury as their offensive coordinator, per sources. Fleury will replace Klint Kubiak, who became the Raiders head coach. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1cZH9Raj4b\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/1cZH9Raj4b<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/2023153764656628132?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">February 15, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>The move was surprising, given that the Seahawks were widely expected to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/47941623\/sources-seahawks-expected-hire-49ers-brian-fleury-oc\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/47941623\/sources-seahawks-expected-hire-49ers-brian-fleury-oc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">keep their OC search in-house<\/a>. Head coach Mike Macdonald interviewed four internal candidates: run game specialist Justin Outten, tight ends coach Mack Brown, passing game coordinator Jake Peetz, and quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko.<\/p>\n<p>The Fleury signing also coincided with the news that Janocko was joining Kubiak as the Raiders\u2019 non-playcalling offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>The Seahawks first looked in-house to maintain continuity on a team that had just won the Super Bowl. While Fleury isn\u2019t an internal hire, the 49ers run a similar offense to the one Kubiak implemented this past season. Fleury and Kubiak were also on the same staff when the latter served as the Niners\u2019 passing game coordinator in 2023.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Seattle Seahawks did not have to look far to find their next offensive coordinator.
