Championship continuity meets offensive shake-ups as the Seahawks reveal their 2026 coaching staff, ready to defend their Super Bowl title.
The Seattle Seahawks have officially announced their coaching staff for the 2026 season, keeping much of the group that helped guide the franchise to a Super Bowl championship while making a few key changes on offense.
Head coach Mike Macdonald returns for another season at the helm after leading Seattle to a dominant victory in Super Bowl LX. Continuity appears to be a major theme for the organization following its title run, with most of the coaching staff remaining intact as the team prepares to defend its championship.
The most notable change comes at offensive coordinator. Former coordinator Klint Kubiak departed the Seahawks after the season to become the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. Kubiak played a major role in Seattle’s offensive success during the championship campaign, helping the unit produce one of the most productive seasons in franchise history.
To fill that role, Seattle hired Brian Fleury, who had held a number of titles with the San Francisco 49ers. He was most recently the run game coordinator and the tight ends coach, which is a good sign since George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey are two of the very best at their positions.
Thomas Hammock joins the staff as running backs coach after previously serving as the head coach at Northern Illinois Huskies football. His experience developing productive rushing attacks at both the collegiate and NFL levels adds another layer of expertise to the offensive staff.
And that is something the team needs right now after the departure of superstar running back Kenneth Walker III to the Kansas City Chiefs. So any help the team can get in the backfield, they will gladly take it.
On the defensive side, former NFL linebacker Josh Bynes remains part of the coaching group and has transitioned into a larger role working with the linebackers. Bynes brings valuable playing experience and familiarity with Macdonald’s defensive philosophy.
Overall, the Seahawks’ 2026 coaching staff reflects a blend of continuity and strategic promotion. With most of the championship core still in place and new leadership on offense, Seattle is positioning itself to build on the momentum of its Super Bowl victory and remain a contender in the upcoming season.
