The Green Bay Packers will need to make at least one move with their offensive coaching staff this offseason, as quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion left to become the offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles after just one year in an on-field coaching role. On Friday, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported on the Packers’ first known quarterbacks coach target: Connor Senger.

According to Pelissero, Senger will interview with both the Buffalo Bills and Packers for their quarterback coach vacancies. A Wisconsin native, Senger went to Pius XI High School in Milwaukee before enrolling at Wisconsin-Madison and transferring to Wisconsin-Oshkosh. He began his coaching career by immediately becoming Wisconsin-Oshkosh’s quarterbacks coach after graduation, followed by a stint as Carroll’s quarterbacks coach and Wisconsin-Whitewater’s running backs coach.

He made the jump out of Division III football in 2020, when he served two years as North Dakota State’s offensive quality control coordinator. In 2022, he was supposed to become the offensive coordinator and quarterback coach of Central Washington, a Division II program, but instead worked with the Arizona Cardinals under the Bill Bidwill Coaching Fellowship. Senger has received three promotions in his last three seasons with the Cardinals, jumping to offensive quality control coach in 2023, assistant quarterbacks coach in 2024 and passing game coordinator in 2025.

Funny enough, Senger was the offensive coordinator for the East team in the East-West Shrine Bowl this week, as Mannion was for the West team. The year before, Senger was the receivers coach of the West team there.

Obviously, new Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon has worked with Senger for several years, so the team probably has some good intel there.
