Packers Qbs Coach To Interview For Eagles Oc Job

The Green Bay Packers are starting to see members of their assistant coaching staff depart for other jobs as the NFL’s coaching carousel continues to spin. On Monday, news broke that DBs coach Ryan Downard and LBs coach Sean Duggan will be following Jeff Hafley to the Miami Dolphins, while offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich is interviewing with the Tennessee Titans for a playcalling OC position.

Now we have news that another member of the offensive staff is under serious consideration for a big upward move with a different team. That individual is quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion, who is currently in the Dallas area serving as the offensive coordinator for the West team in the East-West Shrine Bowl. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports that Mannion will have an in-person interview with the Philadelphia Eagles for their offensive coordinator position, and that this comes on the heels of a previous virtual interview.

If he gets the job, this would be a remarkably quick rise for the 33-year-old Mannion, who just completed his second year coaching at any level. The former quarterback retired from football after the 2023 season, which he spent on the practice squad of the Seattle Seahawks. Green Bay hired him as an offensive assistant in 2024, then promoted him to quarterbacks coach for 2025 after Tom Clements retired.

The Eagles, meanwhile, are looking to replace Kevin Patullo, their playcalling offensive coordinator whom the team fired after their Wild Card loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Head coach Nick Sirianni has an offensive background and has called plays occasionally, but not consistently since early on in 2021, his first season as Eagles head coach.

Interestingly, the Eagles have seen multiple individuals withdraw from consideration, including the Chiefs’ Matt Nagy, the Bears’ Declan Doyle, and former NFL head coaches Brian Daboll and Mike McDaniel. That leaves Mannion as one of of a handful of remaining candidates, along with former Dolphins OC Frank Smith and former Colts OC Jim Bob Cooter.

If Mannion does depart, that will leave the team to hire a new QBs coach for the second straight season. One internal possibility is Connor Lewis, who spent three years as assistant QBs coach under Clements before getting passed up by Mannion for the position last year. Lewis is currently listed as an offensive pass game and game management specialist, with the latter duties being a return to his role he held in 2021.
