Eagles Interview Packers QB Coach Again for Offensive Coordinator Role
The Philadelphia Eagles are intensifying their search for a new offensive coordinator, focusing on a younger candidate pool. Recently, they interviewed Sean Mannion, the Packers’ quarterbacks coach, for the position. This marks the second time Mannion has met with the Eagles, as he previously had a virtual interview.
Eagles Interview Packers QB Coach Sean Mannion
Sean Mannion, 33, has a unique background. He played quarterback at Oregon State and was drafted by the St. Louis Rams in 2015 as a third-round pick. Over his eight-season NFL career, Mannion played with the Rams, Vikings, and Seahawks, but had limited success on the field, appearing in just 14 games and starting only two.
Lack of Play Calling Experience
- Mannion has no previous experience as a play caller and has spent only one season as a position coach.
- He joined the Packers as an offensive assistant in February 2024 after retiring from playing.
- He was named the quarterbacks coach for Green Bay in 2025, working closely with star quarterback Jordan Love.
The Eagles’ decision to interview Mannion reflects their ongoing strategy to find fresh talent for the offensive coordinator role. This comes after the team dismissed their last two offensive coordinators who were promoted without any prior play calling responsibilities. The recent departure of Kevin Patullo has left the Eagles looking for a more experienced candidate.
Coaching Connections and Philosophies
Mannion’s coaching philosophy may be influenced by several notable coaches he has worked with. During his final seasons as a player, he was under the tutelage of Sean McVay with the Rams. He also interacted with Kevin O’Connell and Shane Waldron during his time with the Vikings and Seahawks, respectively. Each of these coaches shares a connection to McVay, potentially shaping Mannion’s approach to the game.
As the Eagles assess Mannion’s suitability for the offensive coordinator job, his lack of experience will likely be a focal point. If hired, Mannion could bring a fresh perspective to an Eagles offense in need of revitalization.
