Eagles Interview Sean Mannion For OC Gig

The Eagles met with Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion, CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz reports. That makes him the 14th candidate linked to Philadelphia’s OC vacancy in one capacity or another. This is the first known coordinator interview Mannion has taken in this year’s cycle. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network confirms Mannion’s first meeting with Philadelphia was virtual, but he adds an in-person follow-up will take place later this week.

Immediately after ending his playing career, Mannion stepped into coaching. The former Rams and Vikings passer joined the Packers’ staff in February 2024. He worked as an offensive assistant on Matt LaFleur‘s staff that year before being promoted to QBs coach following Tom Clements’ retirement. In 2025, Mannion guided a position group which included Jordan Love posting the best passer rating (101.2) of his tenure working as Green Bay’s starter. Backup Malik Willis also drew praise for his work when on the field.

Willis could head elsewhere in free agency this spring, and given today’s updates Mannion could soon leave Green Bay as well. At the age of 33 and with only two years of coaching experience, Mannion would certainly carry a high degree of risk from the perspective of the Eagles or any other suitors. A hire could, on the other hand, set Philadelphia up for a degree of stability at the OC spot, something which has been lacking throughout head coach Nick Sirianni‘s tenure.

Patullo increasingly drew criticism for his unit’s performances in 2024, the first season following his promotion as Kellen Moore‘s successor. Other factors were in play for Philadelphia as last year’s Super Bowl winners fell short of expectations, but it came as little surprise when Patullo was dismissed following the team’s wild-card loss. The search for his replacement has proven to be far-reaching, but Mannion – who will work as an offensive coordinator in tonight’s East-West Shrine Bowl – is firmly on the Eagles’ radar.
