The Eagles are hiring Sean Mannion as their new offensive coordinator. The quick-rising coach had a long NFL career as a quarterback and is now the Eagles' OC at just 33 years old.

Here are five things to know about Mannion:

1. He spent the last two seasons with the Packers

Mannion served as the Packers' quarterbacks coach last season after being an offensive assistant in Green Bay in 2024.

Under Mannion, Jordan Love threw for 3,381 yards, 23 touchdowns, and only six interceptions in 15 games. Packers backup Malik Willis completed over 85% of his passes for 422 yards and three interceptions in limited action with Love sidelined.

"I'm thrilled to have Sean Mannion on board as the new offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles," Head Coach Nick Sirianni said in a statement. "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."

2. The former QB has had a quick coaching rise

Mannion was playing in the NFL during the 2023 season, when he spent time on the Vikings' and Seahawks' practice squads.

When his playing career ended, the Packers were quick to swipe him up, and after one season he became the team's quarterbacks coach. His rise has been speedy, but it isn't surprising to those who have been around him.

"He's got a bright future in this profession," Packers Head Coach Matt LaFleur said, via A to Z Sports. "He attacks it the same way I knew he would when he was a player. Just extreme ownership of everything, puts in the time and goes above and beyond the call of duty, which is exactly what you want from your assistant coaches."

In addition to coaching under LaFleur, Mannion has played for and coached with some of the brightest minds in football. That list includes people like the Los Angeles Rams' Sean McVay, Jaguars' Liam Coen, Vikings' Kevin O'Connell, Falcons' Kevin Stefanski, Bengals' Zac Taylor, and others.

Mannion has a heavy influence from the Mike Shanahan/Kyle Shanahan coaching tree.

3. He was the offensive coordinator at the East/West Shrine Bowl

Earlier in January at the East/West Shrine Bowl, Mannion got his first taste of being an offensive coordinator.

He served in the role for the first time in his coaching career, helping the West Team come away with a 21-17 victory. Mannion's quarterbacks completed 22 of 28 passes in the game while the West Team rushed for 142 yards.

"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," Sirianni added in his statement. "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."

4. He played quarterback for nine seasons in the NFL

Mannion was drafted in the 3rd round by the St. Louis Rams in 2015 out of Oregon State, and he went on to play nine seasons in the NFL. Mannion's first taste of NFL action came as a third-string quarterback for the Rams, where he backed up Case Keenum and Nick Foles.

Mannion played his first four seasons with the Rams before joining the Vikings in 2019 and 2020. He joined the Seahawks' practice squad in 2021 and alternated between Seattle and Minnesota before his playing career finished in 2023.

The 6-foot-6 Mannion appeared in 14 games in his NFL career, completing 60.9% of his passes for 573 yards and one touchdown.

5. Mannion was a prolific college quarterback

Playing 47 college games at Oregon State, Mannion is currently 19th in FBS history with 13,600 passing yards.

His junior season saw him lead the Pac-12 in passing yards (4,662) and touchdowns (37) as the Beavers won a bowl game over Bosie State. Mannion finished his career completing 64.6% of his passes for 83 touchdowns and 54 interceptions. — Written by Matt Ryan
