Summary

The Seahawks have hired a new offensive coordinator in Brian Fleury, so Brock and Lefko analyze what to expect from him and why Mike Macdonald decided to make this hire. They then bring on 49ers beat reporter Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle to get further insight on Fleury and who he is as a coach and person. In Blue 88, Brock dives in on the 3 P's that come to mind with hiring Brian Fleury, what Bill Simmons got wrong about his Super Bowl prediction and how the talent in the 2026 NFL Draft correspond to the areas of need for the Seahawks.

Okay, well, kind of. We have Brock Heward. We might have Mike Salk in some form. We have me, Mike Lefco here. So good morning, Brock. How are you today? Good morning. I'm still basking in the highlights of this 20 page. Do you see this? Oh, yeah. What do you page in through? Explain it to the listeners. Did you see this on Sunday? Oh yeah. I saw it. Gosh, you know what I realized I love being back in Washington and at the Salish on Sunday morning waking up. They had the Seattle Times and to have a 20 page spread. This was so

0:52.4

well done. I know I'm not just, you know, doing this because Divish

0:56.0

is joining us in 90 minutes or whatever from the Seattle Times. But this, honestly, this,

1:00.2

I've already read this a couple times, read it on the plane, right at that morning, back to the top.

1:05.8

And it was just, what, eight days ago, now nine days ago, walking the Kirkland waterfront on Sunday, thinking at this time one week ago, we were hoisting this Lombardi Trophy. And I'm going to do my very best left go to not do just the radio thing and just move on. And just move on and like, oh, come by next week. Oh, free agency. Oh, for you, should I say? No, no, I'm going to do my best to still. And I'm going to keep this right here on my little office desk.

1:43.6

I'm going to keep this little 20-page beautiful spread they put together as a reminder of just what was nine days ago. How about that? Good, good Tuesday morning to you. Good Tuesday morning to you. There is new news, though, to kind of talk about with the Seahawks. even though we'll still bask in the past.

1:46.1

They might have made a hire, reportedly,

2:35.1

hiring Brian Fleurry as their offensive coordinator. So some staff upheaval over the weekend, Brock. Yeah, interesting. Brian Fleury, what do you make of that? Yeah, but not as much. I saw a little layout. Now, Rick Denison is also going to go with him, the run game coordinator, kind of the O-line Coach Emeritus, and Janoco is going to leave. The QB coach here is going to go, looks like, be the coordinator in Vegas. So a couple departures, but not the mass departure. And on top of Brian Flurry, also a couple other additions that I know we can get to and need to know and everything else. Here's what I make of them. And I think I have this right. And if I if I don't, Mr. Nordstrom, you can text me and say, you screwed that up here. Once again, you just screw a screw a story up. But I think I have this right. You know, Mr. Nordstrom, who's been around the facility in years past and loves Ball and was one of the original owners there in the late 70s and the early 80s. He wrote a book about his experience with the Seahawks and in business

2:41.2

and in Seattle and in Nordstroms in particular, Mike. And the experience was if you were going to

2:46.5

work in the family business, you were going to start in the mailroom. You're going to start

2:50.7

at the very bottom. And then you're going to work your way up so you can see every process of the business. And that's not unique in family business. I've had friends that are in different family businesses. And it's likewise. Like, no, you're going to start at the bottom and you're going to see everything. And I believe it was in the book. You had a line about why they did that. And why they did that is so that you would know the ask. Like, you know the ask. So when

3:14.7

you're in a different position of leadership or management and you ask somebody to do something,

3:19.9

you know what it's like on the other end. I, in a roundabout way, tell that long-winded story,
