The Green Bay Packers' coaching staff is experiencing a notable transition in the wake of the 2025 season. On January 29, 2026, quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion was hired as the new offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles. Mannion, who interviewed twice for the position, leaves Green Bay after helping guide Jordan Love's development. His departure follows the earlier hiring of Packers offensive assistant Nathaniel Hackett, who has taken the role of quarterbacks coach for the Miami Dolphins.
These exits come just weeks after head coach Matt LaFleur solidified his own future with the franchise, signing a multi-year contract extension on January 17, 2026. The deal, described by sources as "a real commitment," ensures LaFleur will lead the team through the 2026 season and beyond. With key offensive assistants moving on, LaFleur's next hires will be crucial for maintaining offensive continuity, especially with quarterback Jordan Love recovering from a concussion suffered in the playoff loss.
Reports also indicate additions to the defensive staff, with Jonathan Gannon, Bobby Babich, and Sam Siefkes reportedly joining the Packers' coaching ranks. The reshuffling extends to the front office, where contract extensions for General Manager Brian Gutekunst and Vice President Russ Ball are said to be in the works. This period of change tests the organization's stability as they aim to build on a 9-7-1 season and Wild Card berth, seeking the consistency needed to advance deeper into the postseason.
