The Philadelphia Eagles have officially named Sean Mannion as their offensive coordinator ahead of the 2026 NFL season, a move designed to reinvigorate an offense that struggled in 2025. Mannion, a young coach with a unique background as both a former NFL quarterback and a rapidly rising coach, brings fresh perspective and strategic thinking to the Eagles’ offensive leadership.
Eagles Turn to a Young Mind for Offensive Direction
After finishing the 2025 season with disappointing offensive rankings and an early playoff exit, the Eagles decided to replace offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo and invest in new leadership for their offense.

Early Life and Playing Career
Sean Thomas Mannion was born on April 25, 1992, in San Jose, California, and attended Foothill High School in Pleasanton. A multi-sport athlete in high school, Mannion excelled in football and later became a standout quarterback at Oregon State University.
In the 2015 NFL Draft, Mannion was selected in the third round (No. 89 overall) by the St. Louis Rams. Although he spent nine seasons in the NFL with the Rams, Vikings, and Seahawks, he primarily served as a backup quarterback, appearing in 14 career games with a single touchdown pass.
Transition from Player to Coach
After ending his playing career following the 2023 season, Mannion transitioned into coaching. He joined the Green Bay Packers in February 2024 as an offensive assistant. As a result, the role allowed him to begin shaping his coaching philosophy and work closely with professional quarterbacks.
