# Brian Fleury

## Quick Facts

- **Role:** Offensive Coordinator
- **Team:** Seattle Seahawks (SEA)
- **Current holder:** Brian Fleury (hired Feb 2026 from 49ers staff)
- **Coaching tree:** Shanahan tree (49ers branch); see Coaching Trees

## Background

Spent seven seasons with the San Francisco 49ers — started as a defensive quality control coach in 2019, moved to offensive QC in 2020-21, was tight ends coach 2022-24, and added run-game coordinator duties in 2025. Earlier stops as a research analyst with the Dolphins (2016-18), plus time on Browns and Bills staffs. Former college quarterback. **Has never been a play-caller at the NFL level** (or any level).

The Seahawks considered several in-house candidates but chose Fleury as a fresh outside voice. He replaces Klint Kubiak, who left to become the Raiders' HC after winning the Super Bowl with Seattle.

## 2026 Outlook

Fleury carries significant intrigue heading into his first year calling plays. Though he's never called plays before, he spent seven seasons in San Francisco absorbing Kyle Shanahan's scheme directly, worked with Klint Kubiak (his predecessor, now a head coach), and the Seahawks won a Super Bowl with this system. Fantasy consensus rates him in the middle tier of play-callers league-wide (per Ranking the offensive play callers). Success will hinge on his ability to integrate rookie RB Jadarian Price (No. 32 pick) and support a proven QB room. Expect continuity in the Shanahan-tree run scheme.

## Scheme and Tendencies

Expect Shanahan-style outside zone, condensed splits, and play-action passing. Pass-catcher value should funnel through Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who led the NFL in target share in 2025 (35%).
