The Philadelphia Eagles have shown interest in LSU offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. for their vacant offensive coordinator position, according to a report from Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. The exact phrasing Leonard used was that the Eagles “have poked around on him.”
Bleeding Green Nation has also heard of the Eagles’ interest in Weis Jr., which is why he was mentioned in our “6 offensive coordinator candidates the Eagles should consider” article from earlier this week. It’s currently unclear if he’s actually formally interviewed for the job opening.
Here’s a snapshot of the 32-year-old’s coaching career thus far (while also noting that he was obviously around his father, who worked in coaching from 1979-2014):
2011 — Florida offensive quality control coach
2012-2013 — Kansas team manager
2015-2016 — Alabama offensive assistant
2017 — Atlanta Falcons offensive assistant
2018-2019 — Florida Atlantic offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach
2020-2021 — South Florida offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach
2022-2025 — Ole Miss offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach
2026 — LSU offensive coordinator
Two big things that immediately stand out here: 1) his NFL experience is limited to one year and 2) he overlapped with Hurts at Bama in 2016. Speaking of connections to the Eagles, we should also note that Nick Sirianni overlapped with his dad on the Kansas City Chiefs in 2010 (Weis Sr. was OC while Sirianni was assistant quarterbacks coach).
Weis Jr. is generating buzz due to the success that Ole Miss has had under Lane Kiffin. Here’s a look at how the Rebels have ranked offensively over the last four years:
2022 — 7th in yards per game, 29th in points per game
2023 — 12th in yards per game, 16th in points per game
2024 — 2nd in yards per game, 3rd in points per game
2025 — 2nd in yards per game, 10th in points per game
Ole Miss notably produced 2025 first-round pick Jaxson Dart and now Trinidad Chambliss is an interesting quarterback prospect.
One would think the Eagles will be looking for an offensive coordinator who has more of a proven NFL track record than Weis Jr. does. But if he’s truly a bright up-and-coming talent, maybe they’d take a big swing on him. That is, assuming Weis Jr. is comfortable leaving Kiffin hanging after accepting the LSU job back in November.
At the very least, it doesn’t hurt for the Eagles to talk to him and pick his brain.
