Former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick is trying plenty of new things now that he’s out of the coaching sphere and fully embracing his new role with the media.
One of those things is social media – something the eight-time Super Bowl champion has stayed away from.
But now, times have changed and so has Belichick as he explained on the latest episode of the Pat McAfee Show.
‘I can’t believe I’m doing this but I’ve joined Instaface,’ the coach said, incorrectly saying the name of the social media app Instagram.
In his first post on ‘Instaface’, Belichick explained why he was so averse to social media for so long – and why things have changed now.
‘During my career in the NFL, I had built-in opportunities to express myself at a moments notice,’ the former New England man said.
‘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!!,’ the statement concluded.
