Episode Details

KJ Wright, a former Seattle Seahawks linebacker, is rapidly advancing in his coaching career with the San Francisco 49ers. After being overlooked by Seattle, he joined the 49ers in 2024 as a defensive quality control and assistant linebackers coach. Now, in 2026, hes been promoted to linebackers coach, a role that suits him well due to his high football IQ. Seahawks fans are torn, appreciating Wrights contributions but disappointed to see him coaching against them. Despite interest from other teams, including the Tennessee Titans, the 49ers have kept Wright, with predictions of him becoming a defensive coordinator soon. Seahawks fans remain hopeful that Wright will return to Seattle, potentially coaching alongside Bobby Wagner.
