The Seattle Seahawks had to replace former offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak this offseason. Kubiak took the head coach position with the Las Vegas Raiders. To take his place, the team hired former San Francisco 49ers run game coordinator Brian Fleury.
The hire seems set up for success. Fleury is likely to have a run-pass balance, just as Kubiak did, but with the past experience of being a defensive coach before he works on the offensive side. He is also a clear communicator, so there will be no issues there.
If not for one forgotten Seahawks player, though, Fleury might not have taken the job.
