Eagles Elevate Sean Mannion to Offensive Coordinator Despite Limited Experience

Sirianni says he will fast-track Mannion with scenario drills supported by veteran staff ahead of the regular season.

Overview

  • Nick Sirianni promoted Sean Mannion to offensive coordinator and tasked him with installing and calling the Eagles’ offense.
  • Sirianni told reporters Tuesday that he trusts Mannion’s work ethic and called him obsessive about improving his craft.
  • Mannion is 34, has two seasons of NFL coaching experience with the Green Bay Packers and has never called plays in a regular-season game.
  • The team has put Mannion through OTAs and training-camp pop quizzes and situational drills and paired him with experienced assistants such as Josh Grizzard and Parks Frazier to speed his development.
  • The hire continues Philadelphia’s high turnover at offensive coordinator — Mannion is the fifth under Sirianni in six seasons — and his in-game results in training camp and the early season may shape expectations for Jalen Hurts and Sirianni’s staff.
