Eagles hire Mannion as offensive coordinator

The Philadelphia Eagles hired Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion as their offensive coordinator, the team announced Thursday.

Mannion spent the last two seasons with the Packers. Before becoming a coach, he played quarterback in the NFL from 2015-23. Drafted in the third round in 2015 by the then-St. Louis Rams, Mannion finished his career with 573 passing yards in 14 games.

The 33-year-old will be the Eagles' offensive play-caller for the 2026 season, sources told The Athletic's Dianna Russini. He didn't call plays during his tenure on Matt LaFleur's staff.

"It was quickly apparent in meeting with Sean that he is a bright young coach with a tremendous future ahead of him in this league. I was impressed by his systematic views on offensive football and his strategic approach," Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said in a statement.

"Sean's 11 years in the NFL have provided him a great opportunity to learn from and grow alongside some of the best coaches in the game. As a result, he has a wealth of knowledge and experience that will be invaluable to our team moving forward."

Philadelphia's offensive coordinator job has been vacant since the team fired Kevin Patullo following their wild-card round loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The Eagles went through a lengthy interview process that reportedly included Brian Daboll, Jim Bob Cooter, and Josh Grizzard.

Mannion served as an offensive assistant during his first season in Green Bay before becoming the quarterbacks coach in 2025. He helped signal-caller Jordan Love finish second in EPA/play out of 30 qualifying passers this campaign, according to Ben Baldwin's database.

The Packers have emerged as one of the league's best offenses since Mannion joined the staff, ranking fourth in EPA/play and seventh in offensive touchdowns.

Mannion, who was Oregon State's quarterback for four years before entering the league, played under Sean McVay, Kevin Stefanski, and Kevin O'Connell during his NFL playing career.

After winning Super Bowl LIX, the Eagles' offense took a significant step back in 2025, placing 22nd in success rate and 23rd in total yards gained. Sirianni moved on from Patullo after just one season as offensive coordinator.
