Wilson Alexander of The Advocate reports that LSU and new offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. have reached an amended three-year, $7.5M deal this week after Ole Miss was exploring interest in keeping him in Oxford.

The 32-year-old coach had been Lane Kiffin's OC at Ole Miss since 2022. Before that, Weis Jr. was the OC & QB coach at South Florida from 2020-2021, and held the same role at Florida Atlantic under Kiffin from 2019-2019.

Weis Jr. returned to Oxford last week to coach the Ole Miss offense in the playoffs.

Ole Miss will play Tulane in the first round of the playoffs on Dec. 20.

Yeah, exactly why LSU should not have let those assistants go back for the playoff game.

Now Weiss can focus on poaching all of Ole Miss's best players.

Look in to constantly keep him the highest paid OC in the SEC? Good lord LSU between Kelly buyout and nil upgrades AND now kiffin huge salary, how are we affording this

UnluckyTiger•1 day

See that season ticket waiting list? There is belief again and optimism from the fanbase. LSU is going to be printing money with the Lane train.

32 years old making 2.5m a year to be an OC for one of the biggest college football teams. 32 years old. That's wild.

Celery•24 hours

He almost makes as much as some of his 18 year old players

MardiGrasCajun•24 hours

Dan Lanning was 32 when made DC at Georgia. Don’t forget Lane was only 31 when he was hired as head coach for the Oakland Raiders. That’s even more wild. 31 as a NFL head coach…insane. Lane was fed to the wolves. Too much, too quick.

Always the highest paid OC? Well LSU should always have the #1 off in the sec then.

LuckyTiger57•22 hours

It is absurd. He played LSu

IM_4_LSU•23 hours

That is a crazy contract lmfao. Always be the highest paid SEC OC.

Shooter•24 hours

I thought Lane ran the offense. Why pay that much for an OC?

Wadey•21 hours

I would make them come back now b4 they milk us on the other guys. This is ridiculous and makes us look weak. If you want to be at LSU come home now.

Nu Iota Prophet•23 hours

Did OM not already hire an OC? If so, what leverage did Weis Jr. have in bringing this to LSU to bend the knee.

Also, who is paying for the LSU coaches on loaner to OM? We (LSU) is throwing allot of cash around lately. Particularly with no increase in ticket sales that balance sheet must be on fire by now.

Tiger_n_ATL•21 hours

LSU just pays, and pays, and pays. And gets mediocre results. SMH

LuckyTiger57•22 hours

Ridiculous. Never should have allowed this.

TigerDCC11•23 hours

This is why I was glad Ole Miss didn't allow Kiffin to continue to coach in the playoffs. We would have been left at the alter with no plan B,C, or D. I knew this crap would happen. Now, not only are they helping Ole Miss, they aren't doing work for LSU right now. Look for one or two to change their minds and stay at Ole Miss.

1. We were too nice letting them go back.
2. As soon as we heard that Ole Piss was trying to pay Charlie more money to stay, we should have told him to come home, sign the new deal and not go back. frick Keith Carter and Ole Piss for trying to take advantage of our hospitality. GLOVES ARE OFF!

LSUNV•22 hours

Verge being Verge

burreauxxx•16 hours

So we’re basically paying Lane $15.5M a year. Got it

Luckydog•18 hours

He better be the best in SEC for that money! Though Kiffin was the real play caller anyway? Over paid again

YMCA•18 hours

Were just going to boot the OC they just signed?

friendlyobservation•19 hours

Why does he look like Mark Whalberg in that pic?

Anyone else think he kinda looks like mark wahlberg?
