The Green Bay Packers know that there are changes that need to be made going into 2025 to become a Super Bowl contender. While they’ve made the playoffs in back-to-back seasons, many fans agree they are a few pieces away from taking that next step.
One of those pieces may have just been added to the coaching staff.
Breaking: Packers Make Massive Change For QB Jordan Love (Report)
On Thursday, Green Bay made a huge move for Jordan Love:
Former NFL quarterback Sean Mannion is Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur’s choice to be the team’s new quarterbacks coach, a source said in confirming what initially was reported by ESPN.com’s Rob Demovsky.
Mannion was Jared Goff’s backup with the Los Angeles Rams in 2017, when LaFleur was the team’s offensive coordinator.
Last offseason, LaFleur gave Mannion his first chance as an NFL assistant coach. It was the foot in the door to replace Tom Clements,who at age 71 decided to retire after the season.
“He’s going to be an offensive assistant for us and he’ll be working primarily out of the quarterback room,” LaFleur said of Mannion at the time. “I love his past experience. I’ve coached him before in L.A. (and) I always figured he was going to go down this route.
“Matter of fact, when we played them earlier in the year [when Mannion was on the Vikings’ practice squad], he told me he was going to get into coaching. So, I was like, ‘All right, well, let me know when you’re going to become a coach.’ He’s just a guy that I’ve always respected how he went about his process, how he prepared for games, how he helped Jared in that situation (with the Rams) being a backup for us.”
Here is a look at what Mannion did while he was in the NFL:
