Mannion was a record-setting quarterback at Oregon State, where he played in the Pac-12 before entering the NFL. He spent nine seasons as a player, suiting up for the Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota Vikings, and Seattle Seahawks.
Since transitioning into coaching, Mannion has worked closely with several high-profile quarterbacks, including Jared Goff, Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson, Geno Smith, and Nick Foles. His background as both a quarterback and a coach is expected to play a key role in shaping the Eagles’ offensive approach.
Sirianni also welcomed Mannion and his family to Philadelphia, saying he is excited to see how the new coordinator helps the team move forwaPhiladelphia — After a thorough and patient search, the Philadelphia Eagles have officially named Sean Mannion as their new offensive coordinator for the 2026 NFL season. The team announced the decision on Thursday, bringing in the former Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach to lead the Eagles’ offense.
Head coach Nick Sirianni said the organization took its time to ensure the right fit for the future of the offense.
“Throughout this process, my focus was to keep an open mind and find the best possible direction for our offense,” Sirianni said. “We spoke with several impressive candidates—some with years of experience calling plays and others who were young, creative coaches on the rise. Being patient allowed the right person to stand out, and Sean did exactly that.”
Sirianni praised Mannion’s football intelligence and long-term potential.
“Sean is a bright young coach with a tremendous future in this league. His understanding of offensive football, attention to detail, and strategic mindset really stood out. His 11 years in the NFL have given him the chance to learn from some of the best coaches in the game, and that experience will be invaluable to our team.”rd.
