This whole southern accent thing is kind of silly. I had to listen to his speech 3 times to figure out where the accent took place. It was one word. I think he tripped over himself as he dealt with the echo of the stadium. You would think if he was really gunning for the southern accent thing it would've been a lot more prevalent.

Don't get me wrong, I kind of think it's funny that the viral video is making him look bad. LOL

Is “famaly” just another of his jokes that doesn’t get through like the “execute or be executed” joke earlier in the season?

Hahaha I just saw all the #freemanera tags on Twitter the other night and my brain kept reading it as Free Manera. So fuck it ya know. It’s MFMF time.

Oh shit...I was doing that too.

Welcome to the club. People read my name as Ukulele or something. I don't know.

Not sure which thread to put this in, but Brady Quinn mentioned this morning that Elston had flown down to LSU before telling Kelly no.

Edit: See on the previous page a comment was made about him out recruiting.

Two Pros and a Cup of Joe is killing Kelly over this accent thing.

That’s not true at all. Literally the entire speech sounds like a high school kid reading lines as Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind for the first time.

I understand we’re piling on, and it’s hella fun, but that sounds nothing like I’ve heard come out of his mouth over the last twelve years.

Somewhere between my eyes and my brain it got translated to ukulele.

Looking at the LSU board, I came across this little nugget.

Jamie Howard said on the radio yesterday that when he and his son visited ND last month Brian Kelly told him that Scott Woodward had contacted him. It was clearly more than one 45 min convo a week ago. This thing has been in the works for at least a month.

I hadn’t read that. Interesting

I’m thinking he wanted to dip his toe in the southern drawl pool saying “mah famlah” , and it got away from him as he continued. I’m guessing that he would delete this from the internet forever if he could because it’s embarrassingly terrible. It’s clear there’s been quite a bit of negative fallout (abandoning team, quick meeting, no wanted assistant coaches going to LSU, etc) and he is really trying to win over the fan base somewhat in a foolish attempt to channel a Boston version of Ed O….

I am pretty sure diving into gold coins like Scrooge McDuck will help him live it down though. I think I’d take the PR roast for that kind of loot

It would be amazing if Howard's family was like eh on second thought how are we supposed to trust this guy?

Although he did get 1 quarterback drafted in 12 years so he has that going for him which is nice.

He'll turn Howard into a 5th round draft pick in 3 years.

Does Kelly and the VP have the same life coach? "Hey, speak with a local accent. That will make you more appealing."

In my mind, I feel like LSU was butt hurt over losing Freeman to us and them getting Kelly was them thinking they were sticking it to us....
