Seahawks Hire Brian Fleury, Bolster Offense

0:00On March 12, the Seattle Seahawks have announced updates to head coach Mike McDonald's staff for the 2026 season. The biggest move is hiring Brian Flurry as the new offensive coordinator, stepping in after Clint Kubiak, left to become head coach for the Raiders Inn, Las Vegas. Several fresh faces are joining the team, mostly reunions from McDonald's time in Baltimore. That includes Zachary Orr as Inside Mindbacker's Coach, Daniel Stern as Past Game Strategist, Thomas Hammock as Senior Offensive Assistant in Running, Bax Coach, plus Jonathan Williams as Offensive Assistant. These hires bring strong ties and experience. Orr and McDonald overlapped in Baltimore for years, from Orr's playing days through coaching roles, including Orr's Stint as Ravens Defensive, coordinator last year. Stern's been a decade there handling strategy and quarterback support, while Hammock returns after coaching running backs with the group. Title changes, round out the staff, shake up. Tyson Prince moves up to quarterback's coach.

Overall, McDonald kept most of his core intact while bolstering the offense, setting up the Seahawks for a competitive push next year.
