Brian Kelly has shown a different side to himself since leaving Notre Dame for LSU - one that includes putting on a fake Southern accent and dancing with recruits.

The LSU head coach filmed a dance video with five-star commit Walker Howard in December, which went viral online.

"I would not have done that at Notre Dame," he told WAFB's Jaques Doucet. "It's just a different place, a different time. … I think as a leader, you've got to always shift and change and look to improve and, sometimes, reinvent yourself.

"I don't know if I've reinvented myself in all those areas, but when a young man looks at you and says, 'Coach, let's have some fun with this' - you know, why not? I think sometimes, we get too caught up in what other people think instead of the people that are asking you to do some things. I had some fun with it, and I'm glad I did."

Kelly filmed another viral dance video with tight end prospect Danny Lewis in January, but his moves weren't enough, as Lewis committed to Alabama.
