Florida Atlantic head football coach Lane Kiffin announced the hiring of Charlie Weis Jr. to become the Owls' new offensive coordinator.

Kiffin confirmed the addition of Weis, who's now the youngest offensive coordinator in college football at 24 years old, to Chris Low and Field Yates of ESPN.com.

"He's way ahead of his time in how he sees the game, his football IQ and just his overall intelligence," Kiffin said. "He's been around the game with his dad being a coach, a lot like I was when I was growing up, and has a bright future.
