The Seattle Seahawks did not have to look far to find their next offensive coordinator.
The Seahawks officially lost OC Klint Kubiak to the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this month after the 38-year-old helped lead Seattle to a Super Bowl victory. The Seahawks have reportedly settled on Kubiak’s replacement. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Seattle has agreed to hire San Francisco 49ers coach Brian Fleury as the team’s next OC.

The move was surprising, given that the Seahawks were widely expected to keep their OC search in-house. 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.
The Fleury signing also coincided with the news that Janocko was joining Kubiak as the Raiders’ non-playcalling offensive coordinator.
The Seahawks first looked in-house to maintain continuity on a team that had just won the Super Bowl. While Fleury isn’t 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’ passing game coordinator in 2023.
