The Seahawks are expected to make an internal promotion to fill their offensive coordinator vacancy, but they are still taking a look at some other coaches around the league.
Among them is 49ers tight ends coach/run game coordinator Brian Fleury, who is interviewing for the job on Saturday, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Fleury has spent the last seven years in San Francisco, beginning as a defensive quality control coach in 2019. He moved to the offensive side of the ball in 2020 in another QC role before a promotion to tight ends coach two years later.
49ers tight end George Kittle has made the Pro Bowl for five straight years working with Fleury with All-Pro recognition in three of those seasons. The team’s other tight ends have not had as big of an impact, though Jake Tonges stepped up for 22 catches for 209 yards during Kittle’s five game absence this past season.
Prior to joining the 49ers, Fleury served in a variety of roles with the Dolphins, Browns, and Bills, along with stints with multiple college programs. He came up on the defensive side of the ball, which he briefly continued in San Francisco before starting his work with tight ends.
