On Thursday, the Philadelphia Eagles announced that the team will be hiring Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion to be their new offensive coordinator, instead of Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter\u2014who had recently interviewed twice with the reigning NFC East Champions:<\/p>\n
Cooter had previously served as an offensive consultant for Nick Sirianni\u2019s club back in 2021.<\/p>\n
While both jobs have the same job title as his current one with the Colts, Cooter would be able to call offensive plays for the Giants, and formerly with the Eagles, whereas in Indy, those duties still belong to offensive minded head coach Shane Steichen. In that regard, either job would\u2019ve been a coaching promotion of sorts.<\/p>\n
However, around the league, there appears to be clear interest in proteges of Steichen\u2019s coaching tree right now.<\/p>\n
The Colts had a Top 10 offense last season, scoring the 8th most points league-wide by averaging 27.4 points per game. That was with starting quarterback Daniel Jones, who was in the midst of a career year, missing the last 4 games because of a season-ending Achilles injury.<\/p>\n
Credit goes to the Colts offensive coaching staff for that impressive output collectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Thursday, the Philadelphia Eagles announced that the team will be hiring Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Sean…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":716269,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2059],"tags":[2005,7,2004,392,3562,2381,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-716268","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-indianapolis-colts","8":"tag-colts","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-indianapolis","11":"tag-indianapolis-colts","12":"tag-indianapolis-colts-news","13":"tag-indianapoliscolts","14":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115983569770418144","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=716268"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716268\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/716269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=716268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=716268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=716268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
