Weis Jr. recently led Ole Miss to a surprising berth in the College Football Playoff semifinals and is expected to transition to LSU as offensive coordinator under Lane Kiffin. Interestingly, he has sparked interest in the NFL coaching circles, which includes the Philadelphia Eagles showing curiosity about him for their OC vacancy. ⚡
One compelling aspect of Weis Jr.’s candidacy is his history with Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, as he served as an offensive assistant at Alabama during Hurts’ time there. At just 32 years old, Weis Jr. has already made significant strides in his coaching career, including a stint with the Atlanta Falcons in 2017. 📈
Despite some concerns about Weis Jr.’s lack of NFL play-calling experience, it’s important for the Eagles to consider a wide range of candidates without being swayed by outside opinions. His impressive track record, particularly with Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart, who is projected to become a first-round NFL pick, adds to his appeal. 🔥
Additionally, Weis Jr. has a connection to Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni, who worked with him when Weis was the offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs. This bond could facilitate a smoother integration if Weis Jr. were to take the OC position in Philadelphia. 🤝
