Who did Philadelphia Eagles interview before hiring Sean Mannion as offensive coordinator?
The Philadelphia Eagles found their guy to replace Kevin Patullo. The Birds hired Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion as their offensive coordinator after a search that spanned a little over two weeks.
Despite being ousted, a team source previously told CBS News Philadelphia that Patullo could be retained on the Eagles' coaching staff in another role.
