Charlie Weis Jr. Chooses LSU Over Eagles Opportunity
After discussions with the Eagles, Weis Jr. decided to remain with his current team in Baton Rouge. The nature of the conversation with the Eagles is unclear; it is unknown if it was a formal interview or just an informal inquiry about his interest. Weis has a history of working with head coach Lane Kiffin, having followed him from Ole Miss to LSU.
Weis’s Coaching Background
- Joined Kiffin’s staff at Florida Atlantic in 2018, serving as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
