Packers promoting former NFL QB Sean Mannion to QBs coach
The Green Bay Packers are promoting offensive assistant coach and former NFL quarterback Sean Mannion to quarterbacks coach, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.
Long-time quarterbacks coach Tom Clements is retiring from football following the 2024 season, which opened the position in Green Bay.
Mannion, 32, was added to the Packers coaching staff as a first-time assistant helping in the quarterback room ahead of the 2024 season.
When hiring Mannion last year, coach Matt LaFleur said he thought the veteran quarterback was excellent in the backup role as a player and had a “bright future” as a coach at the NFL level.
LaFleur picked Mannion over Connor Lewis, the assistant quarterbacks coach.
Mannion was a third-round pick out of Oregon State in 2015. He played nine seasons in the NFL, mostly as a backup. He appeared in 14 games and made three starts.
Interestingly enough, the Packers beat out the Chicago Bears to hire Mannion last year. He interviewed with the Bears but eventually agreed to join LaFleur and the Packers as an assistant. The Bears turned over their coaching staff following the 2024 season, and now Mannion has a promotion to quarterbacks coach in Green Bay.
The Packers also hired former Patriots defensive coordinator DeMarcus Covington as the new defensive line coach, so the major openings on LaFleur’s staff have now been filled.
The Green Bay Packers have announced that former NFL quarterback Sean Mannion will be promoted to quarterbacks coach for the upcoming season. Mannion, who played for the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams, will bring his expertise and experience to help develop the Packers’ quarterbacks.
Mannion has worked closely with Green Bay’s quarterbacks during his time as a coaching assistant and has impressed the coaching staff with his knowledge of the game and ability to communicate effectively with players. His promotion is seen as a natural progression in his coaching career and a testament to the impact he has had on the team.
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur expressed his confidence in Mannion’s abilities, stating, “Sean has shown a strong understanding of the quarterback position and has a great rapport with our players. I have no doubt that he will excel in his new role and help our quarterbacks continue to grow and develop.”
Mannion’s promotion is expected to further solidify the Packers’ quarterback room and provide valuable guidance to the team’s young signal-callers. Fans are eager to see how Mannion’s coaching will impact the team and are hopeful for a successful season under his leadership.
