The 33-year-old Mannion joined Green Bay as an offensive
assistant in 2024 and was promoted to quarterbacks coach ahead
of the 2025 season. He will be the Eagles' fifth offensive
coordinator in five seasons.
“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,” coach Nick Sirianni said. “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.”
The Eagles lost OC Kellen Moore after winning the Super Bowl in
2025 — Moore was hired as New Orleans' head coach — and turned
to Patullo to maintain familiarity and continuity for
quarterback Jalen Hurts, running back Saquon Barkley and
receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Patullo had been the
Eagles’ passing game coordinator since 2021.
But the move failed to pan out. Philadelphia finished 24th in
total offense at 311.2 yards per game and 19th in scoring at
22.3 points per game.
In Sirianni's six seasons, the only offensive coordinator to
last more than one year was Shane Steichen (2021-22). Since
then, the Eagles have had Brian Johnson (2023), Moore and
Patullo.
A former quarterback, Mannion spent nine seasons as a backup
with the Rams, Vikings, and Seahawks after starring at Oregon
State.
