Brian Fleury takes over as offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks

Brian Fleury begins his tenure as offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks following a seven-year stint on the coaching staff in San Francisco. Fleury previously served as a quality control coach, tight ends coach, and run game coordinator under Kyle Shanahan. He replaces Klint Kubiak, who departed the position after one season. Because head coach Mike Macdonald is a defensive specialist, Fleury faces the challenge of managing an offense coming off a Super Bowl-winning campaign. Fleury noted he finds the transition energizing after participating in practice sessions leading up to the team's upcoming debut on Wednesday. His first task as a play-caller involves preparing the offense for a season opener that features a ceremony for a championship banner.
