Charlie Weis Jr. joined the Ole Miss coaching staff in 2022 and currently serves as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Rebels.
Weis Jr.'s Rebel offense took a hatchet to the Ole Miss record books in 2024, which ended with program records in total offense (6,845), yards per play (7.3), passing yards (4,561) and passing yards per game (350.8). Ole Miss' passing offense was among the best in the nation, leading the FBS in passing efficiency (176.6) while also leading the SEC in total offense (526.5 ypg, FBS No. 2), passing offense (350.8 ypg, FBS No. 2), scoring offense (38.6 ppg, FBS No. 3), yards per completion (15.5, FBS No. 4) and completion percentage (68.0, FBS No. 8). For his efforts, Weis Jr. won the Graphite Award for best SEC Offensive Playcaller.
Instrumental to Ole Miss' success in 2024 was the play of star senior quarterback Jaxson Dart, an All-SEC first teamer who concluded his Rebel career as the best signal caller to ever don the Red and Navy across several statistical categories. Dart, an eventual first round NFL Draft selection of the New York Giants, led the nation in total offense (4,774), total offense per game (367.2), passing efficiency (180.7), yards per attempt (10.8), 30-yard completions (38), 40-yard completions (19), 50-yard completions (12), 60-yard completions (9) and was tied for the national lead in 20-yard completions (74), while also leading the SEC in in passing yards (4,279; No. 3 FBS), passing yards per game (329.2; No. 3 FBS) and completion percentage (69.3; No. 9 FBS), while tied for the SEC lead and seventh nationally in 70-yard completions (2).
Dart took down Ole Miss single-season records in total offense (4,774), passing yards (4,279), passing efficiency (180.7), yards per pass attempt (10.8), yards per completion (15.5) and total offense per play (9.15), while tying the record for 400-yard passing games (3), while also breaking Ole Miss career marks in wins by a starting quarterback (28), winning percentage by a starting QB (.737; 28-10 as a starter), total offense (12,115), passing yards (10,617), passing efficiency (162.8), 300-yard passing games (15), rushing yards by a QB (1,498), total offense per play (8.14), and tied for the records in yards per pass attempt (9.5), 400-yard passing games (4).
Weis helped construct a powerful Rebel offense in 2023, helping spur Ole Miss to its first 11-win season in program history and a Peach Bowl victory over Penn State.
Ole Miss finished within the top-15 in the final FBS ranks in yards per completion (10th, 14.5), passing efficiency (12th, 162.9) and total offense (13th, 461.9), while also leading the nation in fewest turnovers (7) and leading the SEC and ranking fifth nationally in turnover margin (+11). The Rebels ripped off five games with at least 500 yards of total offense, two with 600 and a whopping 706 vs. LSU -- the fifth-most in Ole Miss history.
Weis specifically mentored star quarterback Jaxson Dart to his best season, who threw for 3,364 yards (fifth all-time), 23 touchdowns (sixth all-time) and only five interceptions -- tied for the fewest in Ole Miss history in a single-season with at least 200 passing attempts. Dart was difficult to rattle, ending with the second-best passing efficiency rating in Ole Miss history at 162.4 and the third-best completion percentage at 65.1 percent.
In his first season with the Rebels in 2022, Weis helped oversee an Ole Miss offense that posted the No. 4 total offensive average in school history at 496.4 yards per game. Ole Miss ranked eighth in the FBS and third in the SEC at that total offense number, while leading the conference and ranking third nationally at 256.6 rushing yards per game -- led by a new school record 3,336 yards.
Weis also mentored Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart to an effective first season with the Rebels, who ended the season sixth in the SEC in total offense (276.0 ypg).
Weis Jr. joined the Rebels after two seasons as the offensive coordinator at South Florida. At USF, Weis helped running back Jaren Mangham rush for a team-leading 671 yards and 15 touchdowns. His 15 touchdowns ranked third in the league and tied for second all-time in USF single-season history with Marlon Mack (2016).
Prior to South Florida, Weis Jr. spent the previous two seasons as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach under Kiffin at FAU, where he helped lead the Owls to the 2019 Conference USA Championship and offenses that ranked in the top 20 in scoring and total offense.
Weis’ 2019 FAU offense ranked 14th nationally in scoring (36.4 ppg) and 27th in total offense (448.6 ypg). Sophomore quarterback Chris Robinson ranked sixth nationally in passing yards and 16th in passing touchdowns, while tight end Harrison Bryant won the Mackey Award as the nation’s top tight end and was a unanimous first team All-American.
Weis’ 2018 Owl offense ranked 14th nationally in total offense (478.8 ypg) and 13th in rushing (241.8 ypg) as running back Devin Singletary finished 11th nationally in rushing yards (1,348) and yards per game (112.3 ypg) and second with 22 rushing touchdowns.
Prior to arriving at FAU, Weis had stops with two NFL organizations, the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots, and three other universities, including Alabama, Kansas and Florida.
Weis served as an offensive analyst for the defending NFC champion Falcons during the 2017 season, after a short stint as FAU’s tight end coach from December 2016 to February 2017.
He served two seasons (2015 & 2016) as an offensive analyst under head coach Nick Saban and offensive coordinator Kiffin at Alabama, working with the Tide’s quarterbacks and running backs. At Alabama, Weis was a part of a 30-2 record, winning two SEC Championships and one national championship and worked directly with Heisman Trophy-winning running back Derrick Henry during the 2015 season. Weis provided in-season details on opponent’s defensive schemes, worked with in-game communications for adjustments, aided in national recruiting efforts for the running backs and aided in offseason fourth quarter program on speed and agility drills.
Prior to Alabama, Weis spent three seasons (2012-14) as an undergraduate team manager on his father Charlie Weis’ staff at the University of Kansas. He assisted the position coaches in practice by administering and directing drills, ran position meetings for the quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers and led opponent breakdown.
He gained extra experience in 2014 (July-August) as a New England Patriots Volunteer Training Camp intern. In that role, he worked with the offensive staff and assisted tight end coach Brian Daboll, creating highlight and lowlight cutups and coordinating quarterback practice production notes.
Weis also served as an offensive quality control coach at the University of Florida (2011), focusing his efforts with the wide receivers.
Weis, born April 29, 1993, earned his BS in psychology with a minor in sociology from the University of Kansas in 2015. He and his wife, Jen, have three children: Mav, Axe, and Cannon.
His father, Charlie, served as head coach at Notre Dame and Kansas and was a longtime NFL assistant, including serving as offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots (2000-04) during three Super Bowl winning seasons.
