The Philadelphia Eagles are hiring Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion as their new offensive coordinator, according to a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The hiring brings an end to what has been described as a lengthy search to fill the vacancy on head coach Nick Sirianni’s staff.
Mannion, a former NFL quarterback who spent time with the Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota Vikings, and Seattle Seahawks, has been a fast riser in the coaching world. After transitioning from his playing career to the Packers coaching staff, he earned a reputation as a bright offensive mind while working under Matt LaFleur. He will now be tasked with overseeing a Philadelphia offense led by star quarterback Jalen Hurts.
The move signals a fresh direction for the Eagles, who were looking for a new perspective to revitalize their scoring attack. Mannion beat out a pool of candidates to land the high-profile position in Philly. Further details regarding the length of the contract and the rest of the offensive staff are expected to follow.
