Charlie Weis Jr. Declines Eagles OC Interest to Stay on Lane Kiffin’s LSU Staff

The decision preserves continuity for Lane Kiffin’s new LSU offense.

Overview

  • LSU offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. told the Philadelphia Eagles he is withdrawing from consideration and will remain with the Tigers, according to The Athletic’s reporting.
  • He spoke with Philadelphia about the opening, though outlets differ on whether that contact was a formal interview or an exploratory conversation.
  • Staying in Baton Rouge keeps Kiffin’s offensive vision intact as his newly assembled staff begins its first season at LSU.
  • Philadelphia’s search continues, with reported engagement around Texans quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson and an interview with Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith.
  • Weis, 32, built top-ranked offenses at Ole Miss and earned the Graphite Award for SEC playcalling, and he recently told On3 he had no interest in jumping to the NFL.
