Nick Saban gives hilarious response to viral Brian Kelly dancing video with Danny Lewis

Earlier this week, LSU coach Brian Kelly went viral for dancing with recruit Danny Lewis on Tik Tok. On National Signing Day, Lewis committed to Alabama — and Nick Saban gave an amazing response to a question about the video.

In the Tik Tok, Kelly is seen dancing while Lewis stands in front of him in an LSU uniform. The video garnered more than eight million views, but Lewis — a Louisiana native — announced he’s heading to Tuscaloosa to play for Saban.

During his National Signing Day press conference on Wednesday, Saban said he hasn’t seen the video. However, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t like to show off his moves once in a while. After all, he did the “Cupid Shuffle” and the “Wobble” in 2018.

“I have not seen the video, but you know I like to dance too,” Saban told reporters. “So I like to line dance, do the Cupid Shuffle or whatever they call it, all that stuff. I usually do it in the house at our recruiting parties on Saturday nights and some of it ends up on YouTube.

“But I mean, everybody’s got their way to do what they do, whether it’s in recruiting or how they run their program and there’s a lot of different ways to skin a cat. And it’s not for me to judge anybody in terms of what they do.”

If Saban can do the Cupid Shuffle and the Wobble, does that mean he knows how to do the Griddy?

Lewis’ commitment added to Alabama’s impressive recruiting class. The Crimson Tide come in at No. 2 in the On3 Consensus Team Rankings, just behind Texas A&M for the top 2022 class in the country. LSU, meanwhile, is No. 12 in the rankings.

Lane Kiffin roasts Brian Kelly for Tik Tok recruiting antics

Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin is already igniting the rivalry with Brian Kelly and LSU. After Kelly appeared in a Tik Tok video with 2022 tight end recruit Danny Lewis, the Rebels coach took to Twitter to voice his amusement.

“Did you lose a bet or something?” Kiffin wrote. “This can’t be real. Photoshopped? Account hacked? I mean…”

Kelly can be seen standing behind Lewis, dancing as the video plays in slow motion. One of the few players from 2022 yet to commit, Lewis took an official visit to LSU this week. The three-star recruit also has offers from Alabama, Florida and others. He ranks as the No. 30 tight end according to On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

LSU has an 81.3% chance of landing Lewis according to On3’s recruiting prediction machine.

The Tigers hired Kelly from Notre Dame in late November to replace Ed Orgeron. Since then, the new coach has made headlines for his peculiar behavior, including faking a southern accent during his welcome speech. Although his off-field antics have drawn attention lately, his success on the field speaks for itself.
