The Eagles’ search for an offensive coordinator ended on Thursday with the hiring of Sean Mannion.
The 33-year-old former quarterback spent the last two seasons on the staff of the Green Bay Packers, as their quarterbacks coach last season.
“I’m thrilled to have Sean Mannion on board as the new offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles,” head coach Nick Sirianni said in a team statement. “My goal throughout this process was to operate with an open mind regarding the future of our offense to find the best fit for the Eagles. Over the last few weeks, I had an opportunity to meet with a number of talented candidates and great offensive minds. I am appreciative of the time I was able to spend with each of them. Some came with years of experience running an offense and calling plays. Others were young, sharp, and dynamic coaches on the rise. I felt it was important to be patient and thorough to allow the right fit to reveal himself to us. Sean did just that.”
Mannion was a drafted in the third round of the 2015 NFL draft out of Oregon State, the fourth quarterback off the board in a draft where Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota went first and second. He played 14 games with three starts over parts of six seasons with the St. Louis then Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings, in addition to stints with Seattle.
He began coaching in 2024 with the Packers.
Mannion was, per reports, one of four candidates to replace Kevin Patullo that interviewed twice with the Eagles. That group includes Indianapolis offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter, former Tampa Bay OC Josh Grizzard and Texans QB coach Jerrod Johnson.
“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,” Sirianni said. “I was impressed by his systematic views on offensive football and his strategic approach. 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. I can’t wait to see Sean with our team, and I want to welcome him and his wife, Megan, to the Eagles family.”
