NASHVILLE − LSU football coach Brian Kelly has been traveling around Louisiana, recruiting some of the state's best talent and once again breaking out a Southern twang -- but he thinks his accent has improved since first joining the Tigers.
Kelly was hired by LSU in December 2021, and not long after, he unleashed a new accent during his initial speech to match the fans in Louisiana, throwing a drawl on the word "family." What made the Southern twang strange is that the Massachusetts native spent a lot of his life in the Midwest, when he was the coach at Notre Dame, Cincinnati, Central Michigan and all the way back to Grand Valley State in 1991.
