Brian Kelly Is Getting Roasted For Speaking With Southern Accent In Viral Speech

Brian Kelly introduced himself to LSU fans at last night's men's basketball game, and he didn't sound like the Brian Kelly that fans have heard before.

Almost immediately after the clip began to go viral online, college football fans and media started to roast Kelly for the southern accent he slapped on for the occasion.

For reference, Kelly grew up in Massachusetts outside Boston, attending university and coaching at Assumption College in Worcester before making his way to the Midwest for the bulk of his college career.

In 1987, he made the move to Grand Valley State in Michigan, jumping to Central Michigan in 2004, Cincinnati in 2006 and Notre Dame in 2010.
