George Kittle expressed his discontent on social media regarding the reported departure of longtime 49ers tight ends coach Brian Fleury to become the Seattle Seahawks’ offensive coordinator, simply stating “Sad.” Kittle and Fleury developed a close relationship since Fleury joined the 49ers in 2019, with Kittle appreciating Fleury’s unique perspective as a former defensive coach. With Kittle recovering from a torn ACL, the absence of Fleury will significantly change his training dynamics, especially with him now coaching a division rival.
