Philadelphia Eagles hire Sean Mannion as new offensive coordinator

The Philadelphia Eagles are hiring Sean Mannion as their new offensive coordinator.

The team made the announcement on X on Thursday.

Mannion previously worked as the quarterbacks coach for the Green Bay Packers during the past season and was the Packers’ assistant quarterbacks coach the year before that.

Mannion also previously played for the Seattle Seahawks.

Mannion is 33 years old and has two years of coaching experience.

Mannion replaces Kevin Patullo, who was the team’s offensive coordinator for one year. The Eagles’ offense struggled under Patullo, finishing 20th in scoring, 24th in total yards 23rd in passing offense, 24th on third down and 18th in rushing yards.

The Eagles, with the 6th-highest offensive payroll in the NFL according to Spotrac, scored 19 or fewer points in their last seven games against playoff teams, including 19 in their disappointing wild-card loss to the underdog 49ers at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Eagles’ 20.9 offensive points per game this year matched their fewest since 2012, when they averaged just 17.5 in Andy Reid’s final season.

Patullo’s offense had a penchant for starting out games productively, then collapsing in the second half. They scored fewer than 20 points in nine of their last 14 games and failed to score a 2nd-half touchdown six times, including Sunday.

With only right guard Mekhi Becton gone from the lineup that ranked 7th in the NFL in scoring last year and 8th in total offense and then scored an NFL-record 145 points in the postseason on the way to a Super Bowl championship, the Eagles only scored more than 19 points once against a winning team and that was in Week 3 vs. the Rams.

After the Eagles’ home loss to the Bears in late November, Patullo’s Moorestown home was pelted with eggs.
