PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Eagles hired Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion as their offensive coordinator on Thursday.

Mannion replaces Kevin Patullo, who lost his job as play-caller after the Eagles’ offense slumped in his lone season and they failed to repeat as Super Bowl champions.

The 33-year-old Mannion joined Green Bay as an offensive assistant in 2024 and was promoted to quarterbacks coach ahead of the 2025 season. He will be the Eagles’ fifth offensive coordinator in five seasons.

“My goal throughout this process was to operate with an open mind regarding the future of our offense to find the best fit for the Eagles,” coach Nick Sirianni said. “Over the last few weeks, I had an opportunity to meet with a number of talented candidates and great offensive minds. I am appreciative of the time I was able to spend with each of them. Some came with years of experience running an offense and calling plays. Others were young, sharp, and dynamic coaches on the rise. I felt it was important to be patient and thorough to allow the right fit to reveal himself to us. Sean did just that.”

The Eagles lost OC Kellen Moore after winning the Super Bowl in 2025 — Moore was hired as New Orleans’ head coach — and turned to Patullo to maintain familiarity and continuity for quarterback Jalen Hurts, running back Saquon Barkley and receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Patullo had been the Eagles’ passing game coordinator since 2021.

But the move failed to pan out. Philadelphia finished 24th in total offense at 311.2 yards per game and 19th in scoring at 22.3 points per game.

In Sirianni’s six seasons, the only offensive coordinator to last more than one year was Shane Steichen (2021-22). Since then, the Eagles have had Brian Johnson (2023), Moore and Patullo.

A former quarterback, Mannion spent nine seasons as a backup with the Rams, Vikings, and Seahawks after starring at Oregon State.

Earlier this week, the Detroit Lions announced the hiring of Drew Petzing as their third offensive coordinator in three years.

Detroit fired offensive coordinator John Morton shortly after the season in a move that was expected after coach Dan Campbell took over play-calling duties midway through the season. Morton replaced Ben Johnson, who left the Lions to become the head coach of the Chicago Bears.

Campbell said after the season that he hadn’t decided whether he would continue to call plays.

Petzing was the offensive coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals for the previous three years, receiving some criticism in the 2025 season for the group’s performances, particularly in the fourth quarter. Arizona did have some success statistically with Petzing over three seasons, ranking second in yards per rushing attempt and ninth in yards rushing from the 2023 through the 2025 seasons.

The 38-year-old Petzing previously was an assistant coach in the NFL for Cleveland and Minnesota.

Petzing was a defensive back at Division III Middlebury College in Vermont. After a career-ending injury, he was a student assistant for Middlebury. Petzing started his coaching career as a volunteer assistant at Harvard before being on the staff at Boston College and Yale.

Early in the search for a new offensive coordinator, the Lions reached out to Mike McDaniel about the opening.

However McDaniel was hired on Monday by Jim Harbaugh and the Los Angeles Chargers to serve as offensive coordinator.

Detroit was 9-8 and finished last in the NFC North after winning the division the previous two seasons and earning the top seed in the conference last season.
