Charlie Weis Jr.<\/a> is still in Oxford leading the Ole Miss<\/a> offense ahead of the sixth-seeded Rebels\u2019 upcoming College Football Playoff national semifinal against No. 10 Miami<\/a> on Thursday, according to On3\u2019s Chris Low<\/a>. But while he jets back-and-forth between Baton Rouge and Oxford, the future LSU<\/a> offensive coordinator could be in the mix for another opportunity in the NFL.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old Weis Jr. has reportedly emerged as an \u201cintriguing option\u201d to join the New York Giants\u2018 coaching staff where he\u2019d reunite with former Rebels quarterback Jaxson Dart<\/a>, according to ESPN\u2019s Jordan Raanan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Heard an interesting name as a possibility to work with quarterback Jaxson Dart on the next Giants staff\u2026 Charlie Weis Jr. <\/p>\n

Connection to Dart from Ole Miss. Father was a longtime NFL coach. Would be intriguing option.<\/p>\n

The potential interest from the Giants comes amid speculation regarding how many of the six Ole Miss assistants that have already signed contracts with LSU to join new head coach Lane Kiffin<\/a> in Baton Rouge will continue to coach the Rebels through the Playoffs. <\/p>\n

Despite that speculation, Weis was adamant after Ole Miss\u2019 39-34 win over No. 3 Georgia<\/a> in Thursday night\u2019s Sugar Bowl national quarterfinal that he planned to stay on as the Rebels\u2019 offensive coordinator throughout their playoff run. Several of Ole Miss\u2019 offensive players even praised Weis for his commitment to the team during what has been a challenging situation for him personally, according to Low.<\/p>\n

Still, the opportunity to reunite with Dart, the Giants\u2019 first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, could be too appealing to pass up for Weis, whose father, Charlie Weis Sr., has a long history of coaching in the NFL. Weis Sr. has a longstanding relationship with the Giants\u2019 ownership after getting his professional start in New York under legendary head coach Bill Parcells in 1990. <\/p>\n

Weis Sr. was an assistant coach with the Giants between 1990-92 before joining the New England Patriots staff between 1993-96 and again as offensive coordinator between 2000-04. He also worked for the New York Jets (1997-99) and Kansas City Chiefs in 2010.<\/p>\n

Dart is coming off a breakout rookie season in New York, where he has thrown for 2,042 yards and 13 touchdowns to just five interceptions in 13 games this yearentering Week 18 after being the No. 25 overall pick in the 2025\u00a0NFL Draft<\/a>. Dart took over as the Giants\u2019 starting quarterback in Week 4 after opening the season as the backup to veteran\u00a0Russell Wilson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A true dual-threat, Dart has combined for 2,497 total yards and 22 touchdowns, including a team-leading nine on the ground this season. In last Sunday\u2019s Week 17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, Dart completed 22-of-30 passes for 207 yards while adding 48 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground.<\/p>\n
