The Philadelphia Eagles’ search for a new offensive coordinator is taking them to some unexpected places.
The Eagles spoke with LSU offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. about their job vacancy, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic. Weis, however, said he is choosing to remain at LSU.

Weis had only just moved from Ole Miss to LSU, having followed Lane Kiffin to his new job. His status was a flashpoint during the College Football Playoff, as he ultimately remained with Ole Miss before moving full-time to Baton Rouge with Kiffin.
While Weis has shown a lot of ability at Ole Miss, this is not the type of name the Eagles presumably expected to be speaking to at this stage of the process. Since demoting Kevin Patullo at the end of the season, the organization has struggled to find a replacement, with a number of high-profile options going elsewhere. Brian Daboll remains in the frame, but he appears to be prioritizing a head coaching job instead.
On paper, the Eagles job looks like a good one. However, the extensive pressure from fans, combined with potential concerns about Jalen Hurts, appear to be making it difficult to find a candidate. The organization will probably have to settle for a name that is not quite as attractive as what they expected to get at the beginning of the process.
