Sources cited by Connor Hughes say Weis Jr. is the name generating the most chatter for the Giants’ OC job now that Monken is with Cleveland, though he isn’t being portrayed as the definitive favorite just yet.
Weis Jr. would bring a relevant link to quarterback Jaxson Dart from Dart’s college days at Ole Miss, where Weis Jr. helped develop the QB even though he didn’t call plays. That connection could be appealing to a Giants offense seeking continuity with a young quarterback.
A wrinkle in the equation: Weis Jr. reportedly bowed out of the Philadelphia Eagles’ OC search to remain committed to LSU, returning to Baton Rouge per Dianna Russini. That decision complicates the Giants’ pursuit but also signals Weis Jr.’s current professional commitments.
New York’s offense last season ranked 13th in total yardage, yet the passing attack was below average, finishing 21st at 204.4 yards per game. The numbers reflect a quarterback carousel—Wilson, then Dart, with Winston stepping in due to injuries—that affected the unit’s consistency.
With Monken no longer on the Giants’ staff, New York faces a period of flux as it identifies candidates and schedules conversations, aiming to stabilize the offense heading into the next season.
This developing story—spotlighting Charlie Weis Jr. as a potential OC candidate despite his LSU commitment—was reported in ClutchPoints, with ongoing discussion across NFL circles as teams finalize their offensive coordinator searches.
