Many wanted to ditch LaFleur in favor of this guy. Eagles have a good track record when it comes to hiring GB quarterback coaches.
2 hours ago2 hr I like that they swung for the fences given the options that they showed. Obviously still a huge risk but it shows they aren't running the team scared

A lot of us here have been debating the Eagles since Mannion was a mid-tier QB prospect from Oregon State.
2 hours ago2 hr Sean Mannion has never called plays at any level. He only has 2 years coaching experience. The Eagles are RIDICULOUS.

1 hour ago1 hr The Eagles were prepared to give the new offensive coordinator full autonomy, but it remains to be seen whether that remains true with a hire as inexperienced as Mannion. Sirianni gave up play calling a handful of games into his first season and has stepped into more of a CEO role in recent seasons, though he has gotten more involved in the offense when he felt it was warranted, including down the stretch last season to try to elevate a sagging offense.
1 hour ago1 hr If Manion is great next year and they win the SB, he becomes HC in Philly and Siri moves on.
1 hour ago1 hr They need a backup plan. They can’t have another Brian Johnson/Kevin Patullo situation. If Mannion can’t call plays, it will be another wasted year. Obviously, they don’t trust Loeffler so either replace him with an experienced play caller or hire an Asst Head Coach as the backup plan.
1 hour ago1 hr I'm seeing a lot of hand wringing about his lack of play calling experience.Let's travel back in time 30 years ago - before Andy Reid. Eagles poached a new head coaching hire - also from Green Bay - one Ray Rhodes. Who did Rhodes hire as his OC? A 31 year old Jon Gruden who previously was the WR coach for the Packers. At the time, Gruden had no play calling experience. He was given play calling duties for the Eagles. The Raiders hired him as their HC a couple of years later.
