The Philadelphia Eagles have finally filled their vacant offensive coordinator position by hiring Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion after bringing him in for a second interview on Wednesday. The official confirmation:
Despite the fact his coaching career only began in 2023, there is some buzz that he could be a future head coach. Mannion was credited for the development of Jordan Love,
who finished the 2025 season with a 101.2 passer rating. He also had backup quarterback Malik Willis ready to play in relief on Love.
As a former NFL quarterback, Mannion as on a roster as recently as 2023 with the Vikings, but he hasn’t played a game since 2021. Mannion ultimately had an eight-year playing career, and should be someone that can relate to Jalen Hurts and help him develop in different ways than some of his previous coordinators.
As Mannion’s name began circulating for the Eagles job, people started sharing their experiences with the quarterback, and they’ve all touted how smart he is, and how ready he is for this opportunity in Philadelphia. Anthony DiBona of The Philly Special got some great insight into Mannion’s quick rise in the coaching ranks, and noted that Packers fans would probably prefer to keep him as the OC over his replacement.
Tell us in the comments: How would you grade this hire? Are you happy with Mannion or did you prefer the Eagles go in a different direction?
