The Philadelphia Eagles are once again making moves on the offensive side of the ball, and it looks like quarterbacks coach Scot Loeffler could be the next name out the door. After just one season on Nick Sirianni’s staff, multiple reports indicate that the Eagles are actively exploring replacements for Loeffler - a shift that comes on the heels of Kevin Patullo’s dismissal as offensive coordinator.
If Loeffler is indeed on his way out, it means Jalen Hurts is staring down yet another coaching change in a position that thrives on continuity. With Sean Mannion recently hired as the new offensive coordinator and Josh Grizzard stepping in as the pass game coordinator, Hurts is now likely to work with his fifth different quarterbacks coach in as many seasons. That’s a lot of turnover for a franchise quarterback who’s still looking to recapture the magic of his 2022 MVP-caliber campaign.
While the Eagles haven’t made anything official regarding Loeffler’s status, all signs point to a transition. One of the most notable developments came from NFL insider Mike Garafolo, who reported that veteran coach Greg Olson is a name to keep an eye on. Olson, who wrapped up the 2025 season as the Raiders’ interim offensive coordinator, has deep ties to Mannion - and that connection could be the key to a reunion in Philadelphia.
Mannion, a nine-year NFL veteran who spent his career as a reliable backup across three different teams, played under Olson during their time in Seattle. Olson was the Seahawks’ quarterbacks coach in 2023 when Geno Smith earned his second consecutive Pro Bowl nod. That season marked the end of Mannion’s playing days, and it’s clear the respect between the two remains strong.
But their history goes back further. In 2017, the two were together with the Rams - Olson as the quarterbacks coach under Sean McVay, and Mannion entering his second year in the league. That coaching staff also featured Matt LaFleur, who would eventually become the Packers’ head coach and later bring Mannion onto his own staff in Green Bay, first as an assistant and then as quarterbacks coach.
Olson’s résumé is one of the most extensive in the league. Since 2001, he’s held QB coach, offensive coordinator, and assistant head coach titles with nine different NFL teams. He’s worked under West Coast offense architects like Jon Gruden and Steve Mariucci and brings a wealth of experience that could be invaluable to Mannion as he implements his vision in Philadelphia.
The West Coast influence is expected to be a defining feature of the Eagles’ offensive identity moving forward. That makes Olson a logical fit - someone who not only understands the system but has taught it at the highest level for decades.
However, Olson isn’t the only candidate in the mix. According to a report from Ari Meirov, the Eagles are also set to interview Connor Senger, a 30-year-old rising star who spent last season as the pass game specialist for the Arizona Cardinals. Senger has been climbing the coaching ladder quickly, starting with a fellowship in 2022 before earning back-to-back promotions in 2023 and 2024.
Despite his youth and lack of NFL playing experience, Senger has drawn attention around the league. He’s already interviewed for the Bears’ offensive coordinator job and remains a candidate there.
His only direct tie to Mannion? The two coached opposite squads at the East-West Shrine Bowl last week - Senger for the East, Mannion for the West.
It’s a small connection, but perhaps enough to get him in the door for a serious look.
As for Hurts, the carousel of quarterback coaches continues. Since being drafted in 2020, he’s worked with:
- Press Taylor (2020)
- Brian Johnson (2021-2022)
- Alex Tanney (2023)
- Doug Nussmeier (2024)
- Scot Loeffler (2025)
And now, potentially, a sixth coach in year seven.
It’s not an ideal situation for a quarterback who thrives on rhythm and consistency. While Hurts has proven he can adapt, the constant turnover in his support system raises fair questions about how that impacts his development and performance. Continuity matters - especially at the quarterback position - and the Eagles are running out of time to find the right long-term fit.
Whether it’s Olson, Senger, or another candidate altogether, the next hire will play a pivotal role in shaping not just Hurts’ 2026 season, but the broader direction of an offense looking to reestablish itself as one of the NFL’s elite.
