Brian Fleury's moment has arrived.
After more than 20 years of coaching at the college and pro level, Fleury will soon embark on his biggest job yet — offensive coordinator of an NFL franchise. And not just any franchise. He's running the offense for the Seattle Seahawks.
"I didn't think that grandly," Fleury told reporters on Sunday regarding his career goals. "As a kid, I always wanted to be a part of the National Football League, so that part of it has always been there. I've always had a lot of respect and admiration for the people that play football in this league and the people that have helped build it from the ground up, but it was really more about teaching for me early on, like taking what I knew from the knowledge standpoint and being able to help people get better."
But it can be a lonely existence, when it comes to seeking input from others. Said Fleury on that subject, "Unfortunately, the people I would seek advice from aren't interested in seeing us do well, so not many."
That's a direct byproduct of Fleury taking the Seattle job after seven seasons as an ***** istant coach on Kyle Shanahan's staff in San Francisco. Fleury arrived as a low-level defensive quality control coach before flipping to the offensive side of the ball the next year. From there, he was promoted to tight ends coach before adding in 2025 the ***** le of run game coordinator.
