One of the first orders of business for the Super Bowl champion Seahawks was finding a new offensive coordinator, and head coach Mike Macdonald and general manager and president of football operations John Schneider wasted little time in making that important decision, hiring Brian Fleury, who previously held the title of run game coordinator and tight ends coach for the 49ers.

Fleury replaces Klint Kubiak, who was named the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders shortly after the Seahawks defeated the Patriots in Super Bowl LX.

When it came to the offensive coordinator hire, Macdonald said he was looking for continuity after the Seahawks finished third in the league in scoring with quarterback Sam Darnold making his second straight Pro Bowl, and with Jaxon Smith-Njigba earning AP Offensive Player of the Year honors. There should be plenty of carryover from last year's offensive staff to the one Fleury will run given the connections he and Kubiak have in their coaching backgrounds.

The two worked together in San Francisco in 2023 when Fleury was the 49ers' tight ends coach and Kubiak was the passing game coordinator, with Darnold serving as the team's backup quarterback that year. Fleury, who first joined Kyle Shanahan's coaching staff in 2019, is well versed in the version of the West Coast offense that Kubiak led in Seattle, one that stems from the offenses run by the previous generation of Shanahans and Kubiaks, Mike Shanahan and Gary Kubiak.

Fleury, a former quarterback at the University of Maryland and Towson, began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Maryland in 2003, and after decade in the college ranks, he began his NFL coaching career as a quality control coach with the Bills in 2013. Fleury brings to Seattle a diverse coaching background, having coached linebackers and outside linebackers with the Browns before becoming a defensive quality control coach with the 49ers in 2019 before switching to offense in 2020. He became the tight ends coach in 2022, then added the title of run game coordinator last season.

The Seahawks participated in the World Championship Parade, presented by Bud Light, Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, and T-Mobile, through downtown Seattle on February 11, 2026.
