""He just did a phenomenal job," Macdonald said Thursday while sitting next to Fleury inside the team's headquarters. "I think his vision and what he believes in offensively ... was aligned with how we want it to. The principles and philosophy on how he goes about his business and how he coaches and what he wants from our offense, he took it straight out of our culture graphic.""
""All the things we've talked about throughout the season in terms of connectivity, attention to detail, the chasing edges type of mentality, he didn't use those words verbatim, but he might as well have," Macdonald said. "How we want to run off the football. Tacitly, there's a lot of similarities as well. But just how we do business, it felt like he'd be a great partner to work with.""
Mike Macdonald, fresh off a Super Bowl LX victory, hired Brian Fleury as the Seattle Seahawks' offensive coordinator to preserve continuity for quarterback Sam Darnold and the offense. Fleury was chosen over four internal candidates: quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko, run game specialist Justin Outten, tight ends coach Mack Brown and passing game coordinator Jake Peetz. Fleury spent seven seasons with the San Francisco 49ers under Kyle Shanahan, including four years as tight ends coach and a 2025 title of run game coordinator. Fleury lacks offensive play-calling experience but aligned closely with Seattle's principles, philosophy and West Coast offensive approach.
