OT:Lane Kiffin Hires Charlie Weis JUNIOR as FAU OC
http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/22132194/florida-atlant…
Very interesting. Does this mean FAU has a decided schematic advantage (junior)?
I wonder what percentage of his trust fund is still being funded by Notre Dame and Kansas?

I think you buried the lede here. This kid's 24 years old FFS.
January 18th, 2018 at 7:00 PM ^
Charlie Weis Sr. must have embarrassing photos of Kiffin.
It should be Junior's goal to be fired immediately after a big extension with massive deferred payments.
January 18th, 2018 at 6:59 PM ^
That kid needs to hit the buffet. Front butts are not made overnight. It takes years of hard work.
January 18th, 2018 at 7:08 PM ^
Hahahahaha, I didn't want to be cruel, but the first thought I had was... "Wow, Weis' kid is a skinny ginger, eh? On the plus side, he got mom's genes (apparently) and won't be fat. On the downside, he has no soul..."
January 18th, 2018 at 8:25 PM ^
You got it!
January 18th, 2018 at 7:12 PM ^
schematic advantage 2.0....
the real question is can he replicate what Charlie Weis 1.0 did and get multiple schools to pay him millions of dollars NOT to coach football.
January 18th, 2018 at 7:13 PM ^
Obviously, the kid has the resume partly from who he knows, but he also has experience working for multiple successful NFL franchises. He’s young, but if it weren’t for Kiffin I doubt anyone would notice or care about this hire at FAU. Wouldn’t be surprised if Kiffin sees some of himself in him as far as background goes.
January 18th, 2018 at 7:55 PM ^
Somewhere Jay Harbaugh is going, HEY! Why not me???
January 18th, 2018 at 7:15 PM ^
I am positive he’s better than Pep Hamilton
January 18th, 2018 at 7:55 PM ^
(thinking)...
January 18th, 2018 at 7:24 PM ^
Wait what happened to Kendall Briles?
January 18th, 2018 at 7:27 PM ^
He's an alumn there
January 18th, 2018 at 7:27 PM ^

U of Houston hired him. Associate HC/OC/QBs.
January 18th, 2018 at 7:32 PM ^
Can’t spell fupa without fau.

This means Charlie Weis had sex and I find that the most surprising
January 19th, 2018 at 10:56 AM ^
Not sure what is going on here, but it is weird.
January 18th, 2018 at 7:46 PM ^
24 yrs old; youngest coordinator- not that means he'll be any good.
January 18th, 2018 at 8:13 PM ^
This likely puts FAU over the top for the National Football Nepotism Championship.
(Seriously he's replacing Kendall Briles and they have like 6 Kiffins)
January 18th, 2018 at 8:15 PM ^
I said it once and I will say it again, "He shall be known in the land of Boca Raton as Charles, Son Of Front Butt, Heir To The Schematic Advantage Stones, Holder-In-Waiting Of The Non-Performance Contracts"
January 18th, 2018 at 8:59 PM ^
How fat is he? First thing that popped into my head.
Did Kiffin offer him when he was 12? Second thing that popped into my head.
January 18th, 2018 at 9:39 PM ^
Th good ole boys network is strong as ever. It's not what you know, but who you know. This kids have never even been a position coach anywhere, yet here he is , running an entire offense
January 18th, 2018 at 9:59 PM ^
Same could have been said of Lane, but he’s an amazing coaching talent. There’s a lot to be said for growing up around coaching, especially quality coaching.
January 19th, 2018 at 7:39 AM ^
LOL. "Amazing coaching talent" is something, USC, Oakland, Tennessee, and maybe Alabama fans would strongly disagree with.
Nepotism is alive and well in the USA!
January 19th, 2018 at 10:09 AM ^
ND would have hired him, but they aren't done paying his father yet.... BWAHAHAHAHA
