LSU offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. Moved quickly this week to shut down speculation linking him to the NFL. He reaffirmed his commitment to LSU Tigers amid reports of interest from the New York Giants.
An ESPN report Sunday suggested Weis' name had surfaced as a potential candidate for the Giants’ staff. The report sparked concern in Baton Rouge, where Weis is expected to join head coach Lane Kiffin following a College Football Playoff run with the Ole Miss Rebels.
On Monday, Weis told On3's Chris Low he has no interest in leaving for the NFL and remains focused on his current and future roles. “I’m fired up about finishing the job at Ole Miss and the future at LSU,” Weis said.
Weis is currently balancing responsibilities, continuing to call plays for Ole Miss Rebels while preparing for his transition to LSU. He reiterated after Ole Miss’ 39-34 win over Georgia Bulldogs in the Sugar Bowl quarterfinal that he plans to remain with the Rebels throughout their playoff run. Several Ole Miss offensive players have publicly praised his flexibility during the process.
From the outside, an NFL move appeared plausible. Weis would have reunited with quarterback Jaxson Dart, the Giants’ first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and followed a path familiar to his father, Charlie Weis Sr., a longtime NFL assistant.
For now, Weis Jr.’s attention remains squarely on college football, as sixth-seeded Ole Miss prepares to face Miami Hurricanes in the CFP national semifinal Fiesta Bowl.
