For a second straight time, the Florida Atlantic football program has chosen an offensive coordinator with a big last name.
The Owls are expected to hire Atlanta Falcons offensive assistant Charlie Wies Jr. as the new offensive coordinator. He is the son of former Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis.
Weis Jr. replaces Kendal Briles, who is the son of former Baylor coach Art Briles. Earlier this month, the younger Briles took the same position at Houston.
At 24, Weis Jr., becomes the youngest offensive coordinator in college football. This marks his second stint with the Owls.
