ATLANTA — Brian Kelly has clearly learned a thing or two about staying in your cultural lane. In his first words at SEC Media – 'Good afternoon' – he spoke with the Massachusetts accent of his birth, not the Foghorn Leghorn Cajun atrocity he attempted in his first public appearance as the Tigers' head coach back in December.
LSU coach Brian Kelly speaks during an NCAA college football news conference at the SEC Media Days, Monday, July 18, 2022, in Atlanta. ATLANTA — Brian Kelly has clearly learned a thing or two about staying in your cultural lane. In his first words at SEC Media –"Good afternoon" – he spoke with the Massachusetts accent of his birth, not thehe attempted in his first public appearance as the Tigers' head coach back in December.
“Fit is about the ability to run a program at the highest level,” Kelly said. “I've done it for 32 years. I've had success at Notre Dame, Cincinnati, Central Michigan, wherever I've been. So running a program and then player development, I think those are the most important things.” His 2022 class has only 15 members at the moment, but includes two five-star commitments in Howard and defensive end Quency Wiggins. Only Texas A&M, Alabama and Georgia have more.
He’s also instituted a significant cultural change in Baton Rouge in moving away from the Orgeron Era, focusing on detail over bluster, data over feel, focus over disorder. So far, the players are buying in.
