Statement from Nick Sirianni:

I'm thrilled to have Sean Mannion on board as the new offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles. 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. 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. It was quickly apparent in meeting with Sean that he is a bright young coach with a tremendous future ahead of him in this league. I was impressed by his systematic views on offensive football and his strategic approach. Sean's 11 years in the NFL have provided him a great opportunity to learn from and grow alongside some of the best coaches in the game. As a result, he has a wealth of knowledge and experience that will be invaluable to our team moving forward. I can't wait to see Sean with our team, and I want to welcome him and his wife, Megan, to the Eagles family."

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.

I reached out to @Peter_Bukowski about Packers QB's coach, Sean Mannion, who is the only known candidate to have a second interview set up for the Eagles offensive coordinator job. Here's what Peter said:

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.

I reached out to the great @MarquesEversoll regarding Packers QB coach Sean Mannion.

Eagles fans might enjoy what he had to say:

He's a fast riser. The story behind him is that Matt LaFleur coached Mannion with the Rams. After the 2023 season, the Bears wanted to interview... pic.twitter.com/tqiy1eWjiI

Side note: Mannion was my first locker room interview ever. Didn't know what to do or how to initiate an interview and I just opened the convo with his days at Foothill HS (watched him play there).

He was awesome and broke down some of McVay's game plan. https://t.co/X4buAKQZlv
