Weis helped develop <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/teams\/NYG\/new-york-giants\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New York Giants<\/a> first-round pick <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/players\/26694019\/jaxson-dart\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jaxson Dart<\/a>, and he turned Trinidad Chambliss into a household name while overseeing the Rebels&#8217; top-ranked offense in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Although Weis is expected to join Lane Kiffin&#8217;s staff at LSU, he&#8217;s stayed behind in Oxford to run the Ole Miss offense in the <a href=\"https:\/\/cbssports.com\/college-football\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">College Football<\/a> Playoff. Through the first two rounds, which includes a thrilling quarterfinal win over Georgia, the Rebels are averaging 40 points per game.<\/p>\n<p>As our own Brandon Marcello reported, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/college-football\/news\/ole-miss-coaches-leaving-for-lsu-not-charlie-weis-jr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">many LSU-bound assistant coaches are expected to leave Ole Miss<\/a> ahead of its Fiesta Bowl semifinal matchup against Miami on Thursday night in Glendale, Arizona. However, Weis will remain with the Rebels as they pursue a national championship.<\/p>\n<p>Weis, 32, has spent most of his coaching career at the collegiate level. The one exception came in 2017, when he was an offensive assistant for the <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/teams\/ATL\/atlanta-falcons\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Atlanta Falcons<\/a> under offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian.<\/p>\n<p>From 2018-19, Weis worked under Kiffin as an offensive coordinator at FAU. He also spent two seasons as a coordinator at USF before rejoining Kiffin at Ole Miss in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Getty Images Charlie Weis Jr. is considered an up-and-coming star in college coaching ranks, but he may not&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":654428,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[254,87085,331,7,13,978,56,6,94907,899],"class_list":{"0":"post-654427","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-atlanta-falcons","9":"tag-charlie-weis-jr","10":"tag-college-football","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-jaxson-dart","13":"tag-lsu","14":"tag-new-york-giants","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-offensive-coordinator-candidate","17":"tag-ole-miss"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115839428809810668","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/654427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=654427"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/654427\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/654428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=654427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=654427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=654427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
