The Green Bay Packers will be making at least one change to the offensive side of the ball. While they’ve lost virtually the entire defensive staff to the Miami Dolphins, the Packers and head coach Matt LaFleur have held firm, so far, with offensive coaches. That was until Thursday night, when the Philadelphia Eagles signed Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion to become their next offensive coordinator.
The Eagles have had a hard time filling this position, with leaks coming out left and right about the reason for the job still being open. Depending on who you listen to, it’s because of the locker room, Nick Sirianni being on the hot seat, coordinators wanting to bring in their own offensive line guy instead of Jeff Stoutland or just generally how Eagles fans treat coaches’ families when the team doesn’t meet expectations.

Either way, Mannion had an in-person visit with Philadelphia this week after having a virtual interview with the team earlier this offseason. Mannion is coming off a 21-17 victory in the East-West Shrine Bowl, a college all-star game, where he was the offensive coordinator for the West team.
Mannion played nine years in the NFL as a quarterback before joining the Packers as an offensive assistant in 2024. In 2025, he was promoted to quarterbacks coach by LaFleur, who was Mannion’s offensive coordinator as a player.
On February 3rd, 2024, Mannion started his coaching career. Less than two years later, he is the offensive coordinator of a playoff team. Rises don’t happen much faster than that.
Update:
It’s now being reported that Nathaniel Hackett will be Jeff Hafley’s quarterbacks coach in Miami. The next man up to replace Mannion will probably be Luke Getsy, who holds the title of “senior assistant” in Green Bay. He was previously the Packers’ quarterbacks coach from 2019 to 2021 before leaving for two play-calling offensive coordinator jobs. He’s been in Green Bay for the last two years.
