Seahawks QB Sam Darnold Faces Minimal Transition Under New Offensive Coordinator Brian Fleury

Quarterback Sam Darnold will enter the 2026 season with his sixth offensive coordinator in as many years. Brian Fleury is not installing a brand‑new playbook, opting instead for modest tweaks to the existing scheme.

Darnold will not have to start from scratch, which should ease his adaptation. The new coach’s approach aims to preserve offensive continuity early in the campaign.

This could help the Seahawks maintain their scoring rhythm.
