The Seattle Seahawks are considering hiring San Francisco 49ers tight ends coach Brian Fleury as their new offensive coordinator. Fleury, who has worked under 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan since 2014, is interviewing for the position today. The Seahawks need a new OC after Klint Kubiak left to become the head coach of the Raiders.

Why it matters

This move would see a coach from a division rival join the Seahawks, giving them valuable insight into the 49ers' offensive schemes and personnel. Fleury's experience working under Shanahan's system could make him an attractive candidate to help the Seahawks offense improve.

The details

Fleury originally joined Shanahan's staff in 2014 with the Cleveland Browns. He followed Shanahan to San Francisco in 2019, starting as a defensive quality control coach before moving to offensive quality control in 2020. Fleury was then promoted to tight ends coach in 2022 and added the title of run game coordinator last year.
