Eagles roll the dice on Mannion as OC, pairing with Grizzard to reshape the offense
The Philadelphia Eagles hired Sean Mannion, a former NFL backup QB and Packers QB coach, as their new offensive coordinator, with Josh Grizzard named pass-game coordinator. The piece presents a balanced take: Mannion offers fresh concepts and potential improvements in under-center and play-action play-calling, plus alignment with coaching-tree elements from McVay/LaFleur, while lacking any prior play-calling experience or leadership of a full offense. The move signals a trend toward young, rising coaches, but it’s a high-risk bet that will hinge on how quickly Mannion can design and sequence plays, lead the offense, and mesh with Hurts and a revamped staff.
