Charles Joseph Weis Sr. was born on March 30, 1956, in Trenton, New Jersey. He began his football coaching career at the high school level shortly after graduating from Notre Dame in 1978. After coaching at Boonton High School and Morristown High School, he transitioned to collegiate coaching at the University of South Carolina as a graduate assistant. Weis then spent a season as head coach at Franklin High School, leading them to a state championship. His professional coaching career began in the NFL in 1990 as an offensive assistant with the New York Giants, where he contributed to a Super Bowl XXV victory.
Weis steadily advanced his career in the NFL, serving as a running back coach for the Giants and holding various positions, including tight end, running back, and wide receiver coach for the New England Patriots from 1993 to 1996. A significant turning point in his career came when he became the offensive coordinator for the New York Jets from 1997 to 1999, improving their offense to fourth in the league in his second year. He returned to the New England Patriots as offensive coordinator from 2000 to 2004, a period marked by three Super Bowl victories (XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX). He implemented the Erhardt-Perkins offensive system, contributing to the Patriots’ success. In 2005, Weis took on the role of head coach for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, leading the team to a 9-3 record in his first season and earning the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award. His time at Notre Dame also included a 10-2 record in 2006, securing a second consecutive BCS berth.
Following his coaching roles, including offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2010 and the Florida Gators in 2011, Weis became the head coach for the Kansas Jayhawks from 2012 to 2014. During his one season with the Chiefs, the team’s offense improved significantly, and four offensive players were selected for the Pro Bowl. His tenure at Kansas saw him attempt to rebuild the program, ending a 27-game Big 12 Conference losing streak in 2013 with a victory over West Virginia before his departure in 2014. Beyond his coaching career, Weis is a cofounder of the Hannah & Friends Foundation, established in 2003 with his wife, Maura, to support children affected by developmental disorders.
