Bill Belichick officially joins Instagram and makes first two posts

Brace yourselves, social media world. The greatest coach in NFL history has finally arrived.

During an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick revealed he has officially joined “Instaface.”

“Pat, I can’t really believe I’m doing this, but I’ve joined Instaface,” said Belichick.

The six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach posted the video announcement with McAfee and a statement for fans on his account on Wednesday.

Belichick wrote:

Due to my career in the NFL, I had built-in opportunities to express myself at a moment’s notice. The circumstances are different now. So, here I am. I am (surprisingly) thrilled to announce my decision to utilize social media platforms with the intention of connecting directly with fans and the public. This debut was inconceivable a few months ago, but exciting now.

Those interested in following Belichick on Instagram can do so @BillBelichick.

Fans have seen a more open and laid back version of Belichick ever since he parted ways with the Patriots back in January. It’s a nice change of pace from the mumbled responses and expressionless glares at press conferences.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Belichick might not be an NFL head coach at the moment, but he has yet to officially retire from coaching.
