The NFL’s most historic coach just made a social media move that is literally breaking the internet. In Bill Belichick’s most stunning move since leaving the league as a coach, he is now officially on Instaface.
While the legendary coach is set up for so many gigs now for 2024 that it’s hard to count, his most recent announcement has sent fans and analysts alike into a state of shock. We all have known Belichick to be incredibly consistent with his grumpy demeanor, but that is apparently a thing of the past.
Bill Belichick Announced His New Social Media
The icon has now been slated to join Peyton Manning on multiple shows, in addition to his show, and many more roles for the 2024 season. Now Belichick announced that he officially joined Instagram, and fans and analysts alike think the world must be falling:
“Hello, everyone. Surprised to see me here? Well, I am, too,” Belichick said. “Over the past few months of not being with a team, I haven’t had the opportunity to express my thoughts at a moment’s notice. So now I’m changing that. I tried to join Snapface, but I couldn’t find it.”

While fans at first did not believe that this was actually Belichick’s account and that it must have been a fake, the legendary coach made sure everyone knew this is him!

While almost everyone is loving this, Dianna Russini was quite disappointed:
“I miss old Belichick,” Russini wrote on X.
It makes perfect sense that Bill would end up getting on some form of social media as he has too many jobs this year to count, and he must need some form to interact with his followers.
