Darnold on Fleury : "Hasn't been too much of a transition"

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold: Not much of a 'transition' under new OC Brian Fleury

The Seahawks hired former 49ers assistant Brian Fleury to replace Klint Kubiak, who left for the Raiders this offseason. Sam Darnold said that given the similarities of the schemes, the transition has been smooth.

One great unknown heading into the Seattle Seahawks' Super Bowl title defense is how new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury's scheme will operate.
Since his introduction, the former San Francisco 49ers assistant has said he plans to keep as much of Klint Kubiak's scheme in place as possible. Thus far, he's accomplished that.
"Thankfully, it hasn't been too much of a transition," quarterback Sam Darnold said Wednesday, via ESPN.

"It's a lot of the same stuff [with] Fleury obviously coming from San Francisco, but a couple different wrinkles here and there," Darnold said. "So it's been good that way to be able to get some of that same verbiage but just a couple of different wrinkles."

"Fleury has been great," Darnold said. "His command, his presence, the way that he installs it with the run game, pass game, his command over the entire system has been incredible. [To] be able to learn each other, kind of what he's thinking in calling it and just continuing to get a feel for each other, it's been really good so far."

"Going all the way back ... to Carolina with (Ben) McAdoo, a little bit of a transition to Shanahan's system in San Francisco, and then we did a lot of the same things in San Francisco to Minnesota," Darnold said. "Minnesota [then] coming here was back to the Shanahan kind of verbiage with Klint. And then this year it's more of the same. So it's been really good to have that kind of familiarity, not only for myself but for the other guys as well."

Hopefully, but that is the double edged sword because if he succeeds he gone just like Klint, but if that means another ring it's well worth the price.

Klint was a one-year guy in Seattle, that turned out just fine.
