The list of Eagles offensive coordinator candidates has grown even longer. Philadelphia’s seek for a Kevin Patullo alternative has produced one other interview.
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 emptiness in a single capability or one other. That is the primary known coordinator interview Mannion has taken on this yr’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 happen later this week.
Immediately after ending his playing profession, Mannion stepped into coaching. The previous Rams and Vikings passer joined the Packers’ staff in February 2024. He worked as an offensive assistant on Matt LaFleur‘s staff that yr before being promoted to QBs coach following Tom Clements’ retirement. In 2025, Mannion guided a position group which included Jordan Love posting the most effective 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 sphere.
Willis could head elsewhere in free agency this spring, and given today’s updates Mannion could soon leave Green Bay as well. On the age of 33 and with only two years of coaching experience, Mannion would definitely carry a high degree of risk from the angle of the Eagles or every other suitors. A hire could, alternatively, set Philadelphia up for a level of stability on 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 primary season following his promotion as Kellen Moore‘s successor. Other aspects were in play for Philadelphia as last yr’s Super Bowl winners fell wanting expectations, however it got here as little surprise when Patullo was dismissed following the team’s wild-card loss. The seek for his alternative 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.
