Despite the Eagles' interest in LSU offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr., the young and promising coach has decided to stay put. According to a report by Diana Russini of TheAthletic.com, Weis informed the Eagles that he will remain with Lane Kiffin at LSU, despite the opportunity to join the Eagles' coaching staff. This decision comes just two weeks after the Eagles fired their offensive coordinator, Kevin Patullo, and began their search for a replacement. But here's where it gets controversial... Weis' decision to stay at LSU could be seen as a strategic move, as he has a strong working relationship with Kiffin, who made Weis his offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Florida Atlantic in 2018. At just 24 years old, Weis was believed to be the youngest coordinator in modern D1-A football history. However, the Eagles still have several strong candidates for the job, including Declan Doyle, Jim Bob Cooter, Matt Nagy, and Brian Daboll. So, while Weis may have passed on the Eagles' offer, the search for the right offensive coordinator continues. And this is the part most people miss... Weis' decision to stay at LSU could also be interpreted as a missed opportunity for the Eagles, who may have to look elsewhere for a new coordinator. What do you think?
