Philadelphia Eagles Hire Sean Mannion as New Offensive Coordinator to Replace Kevin Patullo
Sean Mannion, 33, becomes the Eagles' fifth offensive coordinator in five years, chosen for his NFL experience and coaching promise after a two-week search to improve a struggling offense.
- On Thursday night, the Philadelphia Eagles announced the hiring of Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion as offensive coordinator, replacing former Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo.
- After Patullo's firing on Jan. 13, the Eagles ran a search lasting just over two weeks as Mike McDaniel and Brian Daboll elected other jobs and the offense ranked low in total offense and scoring.

- Amid ongoing OC turnover, the Eagles hired Sean Mannion after Mike McDaniel and Brian Daboll declined, with Mannion's youth shaping offseason preparations and coaching implications.
