Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion says Jalen Hurts has the arm strength, accuracy, athleticism and work ethic to execute whatever the new offense demands, praising his fundamentals and willingness to learn. He cautions the key question is Hurts’ willingness to conform to the scheme, as lingering past dysfunction and A.J. Brown trade rumors loom into the fall.
Sean Mannion, the Eagles’ newly hired offensive coordinator, discussed building a flexible, player-driven offense in line with Nick Sirianni’s program, emphasizing rhythm, timing, and a blended scheme to maximize Jalen Hurts and the current roster, while praising Hurts’ development and the collaborative work with staff such as Makai Lemon, Ryan Mahaffey, and Chris Kuper.
NFL executives remain divided on Jalen Hurts’ long-term fit with the Eagles: if the offense stumbles again, Philadelphia could consider trading him in 2027 due to guarantees and cap implications, while others believe he could thrive if the offense shifts to more play-action and under-center looks with a broader receiving corps and off-site work with players like Devonta Smith and Elijah Moore; a potential A.J. Brown trade could also influence the offense during this period.
The Philadelphia Eagles added edge rusher Jonathan Greenard on a new 4-year, $100 million deal after trading for him, and Greenard said Hurts texted him, ‘We’re gonna get one,’ signaling the team’s championship-standard mindset as they pursue another Super Bowl. The piece also aggregates related Eagles coverage, draft analysis, and roster notes from multiple outlets, including Greenard’s rehab updates and how he fits into the defense amid ongoing offseason moves.
Rosters for the Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Los Angeles were announced, with the Founders led by Tom Brady and Jalen Hurts joined by Kamara, Gronkowski, Diggs, Miller, Hamlin, Peterson and Crawford, and the Wildcats led by Jayden Daniels and Joe Burrow featuring Barkley, Beckham Jr., Adams, Hopkins and James Jr. The U.S. men’s flag football team is headed by Darrell Doucette III; two other squads were drafted by the Founders and Wildcats.

The Philadelphia Eagles hired Sean Mannion as their new first-time offensive coordinator after a 16-day search, raising questions about his autonomy, how the offense might differ in 2026, and how staff and roster decisions will shape the new look.
Philadelphia's open offensive coordinator job is highly attractive yet demanding: success could land you a future head coaching gig, you'll coach a dynamic QB in Jalen Hurts, and you have strong GM/Owner backing; the roster remains talented but with potential key departures. But it comes with Nick Sirianni's influential leadership dynamics, Hurts' evolving preferences, sky-high expectations, intense fan scrutiny, and roster uncertainty heading into 2026.
The Philadelphia Eagles are seeking a new offensive coordinator for the fifth straight offseason after Kevin Patullo’s one-year stint, with Jalen Hurts’ improvisational style and the team’s contract structure complicating hires; options include enforcing Hurts’ plays, designing an offense around his game, or drafting a quarterback in later rounds, all amid high pressure and concerns about dysfunction that could deter candidates.
Philadelphia's Nick Sirianni and Howie Roseman defended the 2025 season, signaled that the next offensive coordinator may run the attack with input from players (including Jalen Hurts), left open staff moves and emphasized finding the best candidate to win now, defended Hurts’ overall career while acknowledging the offense regressed, and stressed continued drafting and prudent salary management to keep core players as they build for 2026.
At the end-of-season press conference, Howie Roseman declined to rule out trading A.J. Brown, calling him a great player and signaling the Eagles would consider a “completely over-the-top” offer that wouldn’t cost them talent, though Brown remains a key piece alongside Jalen Hurts.
The Philadelphia Eagles are seeking their fifth offensive coordinator under coach Nick Sirianni, with a list of 12 candidates that spans established play-callers like Mike McDaniel, Brian Daboll, Kevin Stefanski, Kliff Kingsbury and Todd Monken, as well as up-and-coming coaches such as Nate Scheelhaase, Jerrod Johnson, Davis Webb, Josh McCown and Tommy Rees, plus familiar faces Reich and Nussmeier. The selection will hinge on play-calling experience and how well they fit with Jalen Hurts and Sirianni’s system.
The Philadelphia Eagles fired offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo after one season following a wild-card loss to the 49ers, with coach Nick Sirianni saying the decision was his. Patullo could remain on the staff in another role. Hurts will have a new play caller next season as the team moves on from Patullo, whose 2025 offense ranked 24th in yards and 19th in points (though the red zone was No. 1).
Despite 2025 offensive woes that sparked firing rumors, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni is unlikely to be dismissed thanks to a recent extension, a Super Bowl title, and consistent playoff appearances; the bigger issue is chronic offensive-coordinator churn (Moore left after one year, followed by Patullo and Johnson), with the team facing its fifth OC in five years and considering fixes like changing coordinators or reshaping Hurts’ role rather than a head-coach change.
