Eagles appoint Sean Mannion as their offensive coordinator

The Eagles Appoint New Offensive Coordinator

There’s a new dynamic in the Eagles’ offense. Philadelphia has appointed Sean Mannion, who previously served as quarterbacks coach for the Packers, as their offensive coordinator, an announcement made late Thursday.

Head coach Nick Sirianni expressed enthusiasm about the hire, stating that meeting Mannion revealed him as a promising young coach with a considerable future in the NFL. Sirianni noted that Mannion’s analytical approach to offensive strategy and his extensive experience in the league stood out to him.

Though Mannion will be responsible for calling plays, Sirianni is expected to maintain a significant influence over the offense.

The specifics of Mannion’s contract remain undisclosed.

Taking over the role from Kevin Pattullo, who was let go earlier this month after a rocky season that concluded with a playoff exit, Mannion is stepping into a pivotal position. At 33, he brings a fresh perspective, having transitioned from being a player—most recently in 2023—to coaching over the last two years, initially as an offensive assistant in Green Bay and then last season as the quarterbacks coach.

During his time in Green Bay, Mannion helped quarterback Jordan Love achieve notable statistics, including 3,381 passing yards, 23 touchdowns, and just six interceptions. Love’s interception rate during the previous season was the lowest of his career, while his 66.3% completion rate reached a personal best for a complete season.

Looking ahead, the Eagles are coming off a season where their offensive performance was rather lackluster. They ranked 19th in the league with an average of 22.3 points per game, and were positioned 23rd in passing yards (194.3) and 24th in total yards (311.2).

Particularly concerning was quarterback Jalen Hurts’ drop in completion percentage, which fell from 68.7% in 2024 to 64.8% in 2025, placing him 11th among 43 quarterbacks measured. This decline sparked speculation about the team’s offensive direction, especially given their recent Super Bowl win.

Receiver AJ Brown voiced visible frustration, reportedly even hinting at a trade prior to the deadline. After a playoff game where he dropped several passes, Brown avoided the media. General manager Howie Roseman attempted to quash any trade rumors in the aftermath, emphasizing the rarity of finding exceptional players in the NFL.
