Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Fleury, a former San Francisco 49ers assistant, will reshape the offense with a focus on speed and physicality. Hired by head coach Mike Macdonald over internal candidates, Fleury’s defensive coaching background and alignment with Seattle’s culture stood out. Macdonald praised Fleury’s “phenomenal job” in interviews, noting shared philosophies on connectivity and tempo.

Fleury, who spent seven seasons under Kyle Shanahan, emphasized maintaining the Seahawks’ aggressive rushing identity while introducing new challenges. The offense, which led the NFL in designed rush rate under Klint Kubiak, will prioritize quick, violent plays to pressure defenses.
