For decades, Bill Belichick was the most prominent head coaching figure in the entire National Football League.
He was never fond of cameras, the media, or talking.
But if he had something to say, he always had a platform to say it.
That’s no longer the case.
With him being out of the league, the multi-time Super Bowl champion had to turn to social media to get that platform back.
Needless to say, it was a shocking turn of events to see him join Instagram.
When asked about that, his son Brian, who’s currently serving as a safeties coach for the New England Patriots, claimed that it was nice to see him enjoying life a little more (via Mike Kadlick).

Belichick seems to be living his best life right now.
He made the rounds for his relationship with a much younger woman, and he’s been a regular presence on television over the past couple of months.
The renowned coach will have his own show on the Underdog Fantasy network, and he’ll make regular appearances on the Pat McAfee Show and the Manning brothers’ ManningCast for Monday Night Football.
He also joined a media company as an advisor.
Clearly, Belichick is all about the grind and doesn’t know how to approach life other than by always staying busy.
But now, at least he’ll be able to just sit back, relax, and spend some time on his phone to decompress with the never-ending content fountain that Instagram has become over the years.
