While in Green Bay, he helped oversee the development of Jordan Love and the star development of backup Malik Willis into one of the most trusted backup signal callers in the league.
He now becomes the Eagles’ newest offensive coordinator, whose revolving door at the position has led to a new coach every year since 2022 — though Mannion inherits the tight end unit in that span.
After three consecutive years of top-10 offensive targets in both scoring and yards from 2022-2024, Philly bottomed out in 2025, finishing 19th.i.e in points and 24i.e in meters. This ranking is easily the lowest in Sirianni’s half-decade tenure.
Under previous OC Kevin Patullo, the passing offense stagnated for crazy stretches, leading to frequent concerns about outside noise like AJ Brown’s mindset regarding his position in the operation. Jalen Hurts played in fewer big games and was less consistent; His 64.8 completion percentage was his lowest since his first full year as a starter, and his 16.7 fielding percentage was his worst since he was a rookie. Saquon Barkley and the running game were similarly stalled after his 2,000-yard rushing season.
Mannion’s job is to reverse that trend and return the Eagles to an offense more on par with their world-beating defense, much like Kellen Moore took over after the 2023 wild card exit and sparked a turnaround that led to the Eagles winning Super Bowl LIX.
The challenge will be steeper for Mannion, though, considering Moore had years of roster experience from his time with the Dallas Cowboys before joining Philadelphia.
Mannion has little experience as an NFL coach and has never called a play.
However, he learned from Packers coach Matt LaFleur and played under both Rams coach Sean McVay and Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell. All three of them have worked together, meaning Manning’s offensive philosophy with the Eagles will likely resemble theirs, with more ingenuity and increased movement before the collapse than seen in Philadelphia this season.
If he can establish himself as a playmaker as quickly as he went up to one, the Eagles will have a good chance of capturing lightning in a bottle with yet another OC.
