When Lane Kiffin made the high-profile move from Ole Miss to LSU, he didn’t come alone. He brought a familiar crew with him, most notably his trusted offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, Charlie Weis Jr. That continuity was key for Kiffin as he looked to hit the ground running in Baton Rouge, and Weis-who’s been by his side through multiple stops-was a cornerstone of that transition.
Weis and several other staffers stayed on to coach Ole Miss through its College Football Playoff semifinal appearance, showing just how committed they were to finishing the job before turning the page. But once that run wrapped up, they officially joined Kiffin in their new roles with the Tigers.
Now, Weis’ name is starting to buzz well beyond SEC country.
According to reports, Weis is drawing serious interest from the NFL during this year’s coaching carousel. His name has surfaced frequently in conversations around potential staff hires, particularly as head coaching candidates pitch their ideal coordinators during interviews.
One notable team doing its homework on Weis? The Philadelphia Eagles, who are in the market for a new offensive coordinator.
That kind of attention isn’t surprising. Weis has built a reputation as a sharp offensive mind with a modern approach to quarterback development and play design. His work with Jaxson Dart at Ole Miss turned heads, and NFL teams are clearly taking notice.
If Weis were to make the leap to the pros, it would be a significant loss for Kiffin and LSU. The Tigers are counting on their offensive identity to carry them through the early stages of this new era, and Weis is a big part of that blueprint. His departure would force Kiffin to pivot quickly-never ideal when you're trying to establish rhythm and culture in a new program.
For now, everything remains in the rumor stage. But with the NFL coaching cycle heating up, this is a storyline worth watching. LSU fans, players, and staff will be keeping a close eye on where Weis lands-and whether his next stop is on Sundays instead of Saturdays.
