The reports connecting Charlie Weis to a job on Will Muschamp‘s Florida staff first surfaced earlier in the week.
On New Year’s Day, it appears those reports have become all but official.
According to the Associated Press, and citing a source familiar with the decision, the Gators have hired Weis as their new offensive coordinator and that an official announcement should be coming Monday.
Weis is expected to remain with the Chiefs through the NFL playoffs before joining the team in Gainesville.
Weis’ only experience at the collegiate level was as the head coach at Notre Dame. During his five years at South Bend, the Irish compiled a 35-27 record. He was fired in November of 2009.
