BOCA RATON — Though a talented Florida Atlantic offense has underwhelmed so far, Lane Kiffin is standing by young offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr.
Speaking to reporters on a conference call Sunday, Kiffin defended Weis, who at 25 is the youngest offensive coordinator in modern FBS history. Kiffin said Weis, who had only held off-field jobs before being hired in January, is doing a “good job” so far.
“Everybody continues to get better as you continue to coach,” Kiffin said.
Weis previously held off-field assignments at Florida, Kansas, New England, and Alabama he was hired as FAU’s tight end in Jan.
