Charlie Weis Jr. Stays Put: LSU's Offensive Coordinator Defers Eagles' Offer - A Deep Dive
The Eagles' search for a new offensive coordinator continues, but it seems they may have missed their man. According to a recent report, LSU's Charlie Weis Jr. has decided to stay put, despite showing interest from the Eagles. This comes just two weeks after the Eagles parted ways with Kevin Patullo.
Weis, who followed Lane Kiffin from Ole Miss to LSU, has informed the Eagles that he will remain in Baton Rouge. This decision comes as a surprise, as it's unclear whether the Eagles' interest was genuine or just a cursory inquiry. Weis' loyalty to Kiffin is notable, as he continued as the offensive coordinator at Ole Miss through the College Football Playoffs.
Kiffin's faith in Weis was rewarded when he made him his offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Florida Atlantic in 2018. At just 24 years old, Weis became the youngest coordinator in modern D1-A football history. His experience also includes two seasons as the quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator at South Florida before reuniting with Kiffin at Ole Miss in 2022.
The Eagles still have a few other candidates in the running, including Declan Doyle, Jim Bob Cooter, Matt Nagy, and Brian Daboll. Despite the setback, the search continues, and the Eagles are determined to find the right fit for their offensive coordinator role.
