Philadelphia Eagles name 33-year-old Sean Mannion as their new offensive coordinator in a move that underscores the team's commitment to up-and-coming talent. In his third year of coaching, Mannion has already landed a high-profile gig at just one-fifth the age of former Eagles OC Kellen Moore.
Mannion's playing days are behind him, having spent nine years in the NFL with the Rams and Vikings, and three stints each with the Seahawks. However, he didn't take long to transition into coaching, serving as a Packers offensive assistant in 2024 before being promoted to quarterbacks coach the following year. His relatively quick rise through the ranks has drawn comparisons to Moore, who became the Cowboys' OC just two years after starting his coaching career.
A lack of experience calling plays is one area where Mannion will need to grow, but he does bring a strong background as a player under some of the league's top minds, including Sean McVay, Matt LaFleur, and Zac Taylor. His time with LaFleur has also linked him to the Mike Shanahan coaching tree.
The team is optimistic about Mannion's future prospects, according to head coach Nick Sirianni, who praised the young coach's "systematic views on offensive football" and "strategic approach." The Eagles' OC will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the team, acquired during his 11 years in the NFL.

I'm so stoked about Sean Mannion becoming the new OC for the Eagles! He's literally one-fifth the age of Kellen Moore and has already achieved more in just three years of coaching 
. I mean, that's insane talent right there! His playing days may be behind him, but he made a smooth transition to coaching and has been learning from some of the best minds in the league 
.
. Sure, he might need to work on calling plays, but his experience as a player under top coaches is huge 
. And let's be real, who wouldn't want a coach with an 11-year pedigree in the NFL? 
Nick Sirianni seems confident in Mannion, and I think that's justified - this kid's got game! 
. But coaching is totally different from playing, right? I've heard he did good stuff as an assistant coach for the Packers and then got promoted to quarterbacks coach... that's quick! 
. Still, having played with some awesome coaches like McVay and LaFleur might help him out.
I'm not saying it's bad, but let's keep an eye on this one. I mean, Nick Sirianni seems pretty stoked about him, but sometimes you gotta question the hype...
. And on top of that, they just signed Jalen Hurts to a massive contract... hope he can perform under all this new coaching 
Mannion's got potential but does he really need this high-profile gig at his age? 
He's got the right pedigree, from McVay to LaFleur, and now he's gonna bring all that know-how to the table in Philly. The fact that he's only 33 is wild too - it's like he's defying Father Time or something! 
I'm hyped for what Mannion can do with this team, especially if they're willing to give him a chance to develop his play-calling skills. It's all about the system and how well they mesh, but I think we might be looking at some magic happening in the City of Brotherly Love 
. The fact that he's been able to learn from top coaches like McVay and LaFleur is huge. He's got some big shoes to fill, especially since Kellen Moore was kinda his idol before joining the league 
.
. does sean mannion have what it takes to lead the eagles offense? only time will tell 
mannion might be young, but he's got experience too - 11 years in the nfl is no joke 
gotta watch how he develops a play-calling style, but overall, i'm hyped to see what he can do! 
I mean, he's got some serious cred under his belt from playing with top coaches like McVay, LaFleur, and Taylor. And now, the Eagles are giving him a shot to bring that expertise to their team. 
Nick Sirianni seems confident in Mannion's abilities and I think it's easy to see why - he's got some solid views on offense and a strategic approach that'll help the team shine. 
and let's be real, he's only 33 so he's basically still in his prime
