Sirianni Backs Mannion's Work Ethic Despite Offensive Coordinator Inexperience
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni expressed confidence in new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, saying he has no concerns about Mannion's lack of experience because Mannion has worked hard to prepare for the role.
Nick Sirianni isn't sweating Sean Mannion's inexperience at offensive coordinator. The Eagles head coach doubled down on his confidence in the new OC, stating "I'm not at all concerned there as far as his inexperience on that because he's worked his ass off."
Mannion's film work and preparation have evidently impressed Sirianni enough to overlook the lack of coordinator experience on his resume. For a team looking to stabilize its offense, the emphasis on work ethic and obsession to improve suggests Sirianni sees the intangibles that matter in game planning and execution.
