The Philadelphia Eagles have finally found their offensive coordinator for the 2026 season, hiring Sean Mannion, who previously served as the quarterback coach for Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers.
Mannion spent nine seasons as a backup quarterback in the NFL, starting 14 games for the Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings. Mannion was drafted by the then St. Louis Rams as a third-round pick out of Oregon State.
Mannion has been a coach for just two seasons, joining the Packers staff in 2024 and being quickly promoted to quarterbacks coach in 2025. Mannion helped with the development of Love, as the sixth-year quarterback saw major improvements this year in taking care of the football, throwing only six interceptions compared to 11 in the two seasons prior.
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni had nothing but praise for his new offensive coordinator, saying, “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.”

Mannion now will have the opportunity to work with Super Bowl-winning quarterback Jalen Hurts, who saw a decline this season in his rushing and passing game. Hurts had 50 fewer rushing attempts this season, which was unusual for the dual-threat quarterback.
The Eagles had initially targeted former head coaches Mike McDaniel and Brian Daboll to be their new offensive coordinator, but decided to go elsewhere and hire Mannion.
The trend continues of former backup quarterbacks getting offensive coordinator looks, as Mannion joins David Blough and Davis Webb.
It has yet to be determined whether Mannion will be the play-caller for the Eagles or if it will be Sirianni, but regardless, it will be the fifth different offensive coordinator Hurts has had in his six seasons in the NFL.
