- 1. According to SB Nation Charlie Weis Jr was hired by Lane Kiffin as FAU’s new Offensive Coordinator. The now 24 year old worked with Kiffin at Alabama on Nick Saban’s staff. Lane Kiffin’s dad was a coach and some suggest because of that he is a strong believer in sons of coaches. FAU’s former offensive coordinator Kendal Briles left taking an offensive coordinator role at Houston last week. This will hopefully be the right change for the school which had a 9-27 record under Charlie Partridge. The former head coach was fired November 27th in the middle of the season.
