Twitter calls out new LSU HC Brian Kelly over his southern accent

Brian Kelly has spent the last 12 seasons with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football program, where he has a 92-39 record. He took Notre Dame to the College Football Playoffs twice but failed to win a game there.

The Fighting Irish team were devastated after their coach spoke to them about his resignation after their regular-season finale. Kelly resigned from his position, delivering an emotional speech to his players. After 12 years in charge at Notre Dame, he is taking on a "new challenge" and filling in for Ed Orgeron as the new head coach of the LSU Tigers.

Jumping from an independent team to the top conference in the nation in the SEC will prove to be a tough task. But Brian is a proven candidate who could shake up the conference and make LSU exciting again.

The LSU football program and campus seem to be very excited to have Kelly as their new head coach. However, his introduction to the students was marred by some controversy.

Now here is a random video of Kelly talking while he was with Notre Dame:

If you haven't noticed the glaring difference that took Twitter by storm, it's that Brian Kelly doesn't have a southern draw or accent in general. However, when addressing LSU, he has a thick dosage of southern hospitality in his voice. Twitter sure did catch it:

It's never good to have your new head coach ridiculed on Twitter before even taking the field for a practice session. It has nothing to do with his coaching style or success, but it at least makes Brian Kelly a viral sensation, similar to former head coach Ed Orgeron.
