Report: LSU, Ole Miss OC Charlie Weis Jr. Emerges as Option on New York Giants Staff Coaching Jaxson Dart
Charlie Weis Jr. is still in Oxford, leading the Ole Miss offense ahead of the Rebels' upcoming College Football Playoff national semifinal against Miami on Thursday, according to On3's Chris Low. But while he divides his time between Baton Rouge and Oxford, the future LSU offensive coordinator could be in the mix for another opportunity in the NFL. The 32-year-old Weis Jr. has reportedly emerged as an "intriguing option" to join the New York Giants' coaching staff, where he'd reunite with former Rebels quarterback Jaxson Dart, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. This potential interest from the Giants comes amid speculation about the future of Ole Miss assistants who have signed contracts with LSU's new head coach, Lane Kiffin. Despite Weis' commitment to stay on as the Rebels' offensive coordinator throughout their playoff run, the opportunity to work with Dart, the Giants' first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, could be too appealing to pass up. Weis Jr.'s father, Charlie Weis Sr., has a long history of coaching in the NFL and a longstanding relationship with the Giants' ownership, which could make Weis Jr. an intriguing option for the team. However, the situation is complex, and Weis has been adamant about staying with Ole Miss through the playoffs. This has led to speculation about the future of the assistants who have signed with LSU, including Weis Jr. The Giants' interest in Weis Jr. adds another layer of intrigue to the situation, and it remains to be seen how it will play out. Weis Jr. would be an intriguing option to work with quarterback Jaxson Dart on the next Giants staff, given his connection to Dart from Ole Miss and his father's NFL coaching background.
