There was plenty of grumbling about the Eagles offense over the course of the 2025 season, but it will wind up with quarterback Jalen Hurts as a Pro Bowler.
Hurts was added to the NFC roster on Friday. He replaces Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. Dak Prescott of the Cowboys and Sam Darnold of the Seahawks were the other original quarterback selections, but Jared Goff of the Lions replaced Darnold after Seattle advanced to the Super Bowl.
Hurts was 294-of-454 for 3,224 yards, 25 touchdowns and six interceptions in 16 regular season starts. He also ran for 421 yards and eight touchdowns.
Once Hurts is done with the Pro Bowl festivities, he will turn his attention back toward preparing for his first season with new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. Mannion will be the Eagles’ fifth offensive coordinator in five seasons.

Like Kevin Patullo, Josh Grizzard was a first-time offensive coordinator in 2025. Like Patullo, Grizzard was fired after one season.
Grizzard will now be working for Patullo’s former team.
Per multiple reports, Grizzard has been hired to serve as the Eagles’ pass game coordinator. On Thursday, the Eagles hired Packers quarterback coach Sean Mannion to be the new offensive coordinator in Philly.
Grizzard, 35, was promoted from pass game coordinator to offensive coordinator in Tampa last year, after Liam Coen left to become head coach of the Jaguars.
Grizzard was one of the candidates for the offensive coordinator job in Philadelphia, a high-risk, high-reward gig that, for four straight years, has either resulted in a catapult to a head-coaching job or the issuance of a pink slip.
The Eagles have filled the job that seemingly no one wanted.
Via Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion will become the Eagles’ new offensive coordinator.
Mannion played quaterback in the NFL from 2015 through 2023. He entered the league as a third-round pick of the Rams.
Hired by the Packers in 2024, Mannion went from offensive assistant to quarterbacks coach in 2025.
Now, at age 33, Mannion steps into one of the most important positions in the league. And the one with the highest risk and biggest reward.
Of the last four Eagles offensive coordinators, two became head coaches after one year (Shane Steichen, Kellen Moore) — and two were fired after one year (Brian Johnson, Kevin Patullo).
The key for Mannion will be quarterback Jalen Hurts. The best approach will be to design and implement an offense that Hurts likes, with plays he wants to run and concepts he wants to execute. Even if that means starting from scratch to design a new playbook.
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni previously was an offensive coordinator. Unlike other offensive specialists, Sirianni has delegated much of the offense (some would say too much) to his coordinator.
Regardless, the Eagles finally have a new one coordinator. And Mannion has the biggest opportunity of his coaching career, only two years into it.
Texans quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson remains in the mix for the Eagles offensive coordinator job.
Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that Johnson had a second interview with the team on Thursday.
Johnson has been coaching the quarterbacks in Houston for the last three seasons. He previously worked for the Vikings, Colts, and 49ers and does not have any experience as a coordinator at this point in his career.
Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter and Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion have also spoken to the team multiple times. A number of other candidates have also been on the radar, although some have moved on to other jobs as the Eagles have spent most of the last month trying to find the right fit for their offense.
There’s another team with interest in Jim Bob Cooter to be their offensive coordinator.
Per Peter Schrager of ESPN, Cooter will meet with the Giants to discuss that team’s OC vacancy.
The Giants were likely to hire Todd Monken to be the club’s first offensive coordinator under new head coach John Harbaugh. But the Browns interrupted those plans by hiring Monken as their head coach. So now, the Giants will have to pivot.
Cooter has been with the Colts since 2023. He was previously an offensive coordinator with the Lions from 2016-2018. He’s also spent time with the Chiefs, Broncos, Jets, Eagles, and Jaguars.
Philadelphia has also expressed interest in Cooter as a potential option at offensive coordinator.
New York has reportedly requested an interview with Broncos passing game coordinator/quarterbacks coach Davis Webb as well.
The Eagles’ extended search for a new offensive coordinator now includes a second interview with Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter.
Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports that Cooter had an in-person interview with the team on Tuesday. Cooter interviewed with the Eagles virtually earlier this month.
The Colts could have blocked Cooter from interviewing since it is a lateral move, but moving to the Eagles would give Cooter a chance to call offensive plays. Head coach Shane Steichen handles those duties for the Colts.
Steichen and Cooter were both on Nick Sirianni’s Eagles’ staff in 2021 with Steichen as the offensive coordinator and Cooter in a consulting role. That familiarity could help Cooter land a different role in Philly this time around.
Broncos quarterbacks coach/pass game coordinator Davis Webb has received interest as a head coaching candidate this month and he’s also a candidate for another move up the coaching ladder.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Webb has received requests from the Eagles, Giants, and Ravens to interview for their offensive coordinator openings. The Giants and Ravens have new head coaches while the Eagles are looking for a new coordinator after relieving Kevin Patullo of those duties.
Any decision about pursuing those jobs could be tied to the Raiders’ plans at head coach. Webb has interviewed with them twice for the position with the most recent coming on Monday. Joe Brady and Brian Daboll were also candidates in Vegas, but Brady became the Bills’ head coach Tuesday while Daboll has signed on as the Titans’ offensive coordinator.
The Broncos also fired their offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi on Tuesday, so there could be a chance for Webb to earn a promotion without leaving Denver. Head coach Sean Payton calls the team’s offensive plays, however, and Webb would have the opportunity to do that role with the other teams interested in his services.
It looks like the Eagles are getting closer to finding their next offensive coordinator.
Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, Philadelphia is bringing in Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion for an in-person interview this week.
This will be Mannion’s second interview with the club, as he previously met virtually with the Eagles.
Mannion, 33, just finished his first year as Green Bay’s quarterbacks coach, having replaced the legendary Tom Clements. It was his second year on the Packers’ staff, as he served as an offensive assistant in 2024.
A Rams third-round pick in 2015, Mannion served as a backup for the franchise for his first four seasons. He then bounced between the Vikings and Seahawks for the rest of his playing career. Mannion appeared in a total of 14 games with three starts, throwing for 573 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions.
The Cowboys are allowing new defensive coordinator Christian Parker to hire his own staff, something that doesn’t always happen in Dallas.
The Cowboys fired defensive passing game coordinator/safeties coach Andre Curtis, secondary/cornerbacks coach David Overstreet II and linebackers coach Dave Borgonzi, Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News reports.
The Cowboys interviewed Steelers outside linebackers coach Denzel Martin for the same role, Jordan Schultz of Schultz Report reports.
Martin joined the Steelers staff in 2016 and worked his way up to outside linebackers coach.
The Cowboys also interviewed Eagles assistant linebackers coach Ronell Williams, who was the Cowboys’ nickel cornerbacks coach in 2023, Todd Archer of ESPN reports. The team is also interviewing Vikings defensive line coach Marcus Dixon, who was with Parker in Denver.
Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle has withdrawn his name from consideration for the Eagles’ offensive coordinator job, Dianna Russini of TheAthletic.com reports.
Doyle just finished his first season in Chicago.
The Bears could have blocked the interview request, but Doyle would have had a chance to call plays in Philadelphia. Head coach Ben Johnson calls the plays in Chicago.
Doyle was the Broncos’ tight ends coach for two years before joining the Bears, and he also coached under Sean Payton in New Orleans.
LSU offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. also informed the Eagles he will stay in his current job.
The Eagles have Jim Bob Cooter, Matt Nagy and Brian Daboll as the remaining known candidates for the job.
