Ole Miss confirmed on Tuesday that Charlie Weis Jr. will be returning to Oxford to coach the Rebels in the College Football Playoff.
Shortly after that announcement was made, Lane Kiffin released a statement on the matter. He said LSU has “allowed” Weis to return to Ole Miss for the College Football Playoff. Kiffin says this is in an effort to help Ole Miss receive the “highest ranking possible” from the CFP selection committee.
“I’ve already made the committee aware of this and I’m hopeful this decision will allow Ole Miss to receive the highest ranking possible because these great players are very deserving of that,” Kiffin said in-part. “I’m excited that Charlie will be back to help coach the greatest team in the history of Ole Miss.”
Here’s the full statement from Kiffin:

— Koki Riley (@KokiRiley) December 2, 2025Weis is still expected to ultimately join Kiffin’s staff at LSU, but will first assist the Rebels in getting as far as possible in the College Football Playoff. Ole Miss is set to play in the CFP for the first time in program history later this month.
Weis will be the primary play-caller for Ole Miss during the postseason. Although Kiffin called plays for the Rebels during the regular season, Weis has been an offensive coordinator in college football for the better part of a decade.
Ole Miss will learn its seed in the 12-team Playoff on Sunday following the conclusion of conference championship games.
