Brian Fleury's Job Security in Jeopardy
The Seattle Seahawks have named Brian Fleury as their new offensive coordinator, a decision that has already raised eyebrows.
The 2026 NFL season is looming large for the Seahawks, and with it comes the question of whether they can defend their Super Bowl title. Key players such as Sam Darnold and Rashid Shaheed will be crucial to the team's success, but Fleury's inexperience in the role may put him on the hot seat.
Fleury is taking over from Klint Kubiak, who did a "terrific job" with Darnold and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, according to CBS Sports' Zachary Pereles. However, this will be Fleury's first time as a lead coordinator.
The Seahawks will have to adjust to life without star running back Kenneth Walker III, with rookie Jadarian Price and Zach Charbonnet set to take on more responsibility in the ground game. Rashid Shaheed is also expected to play a larger role, putting pressure on Fleury to orchestrate the offense with precision.
Comparisons to Kubiak are inevitable, and Fleury will be under the microscope to see if he can match his predecessor's success. The Seahawks will need to pile on yards and points to win games, and Fleury's success will be closely tied to the team's performance.
Fleury's inexperience and the high expectations for the Seahawks may put him on the hot seat for the upcoming season. It remains to be seen how he will perform and whether he can keep his job.
