NFL fans can find former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick on more than just TV shows and podcasts this season.

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

The account had not yet posted, but already had over 20,000 followers by Wednesday afternoon.
In Belichick’s profile photo, the 72-year-old wears the six Super Bowl rings he won during his 24-year tenure as head coach of the Patriots.
After parting ways with the Patriots in January, Belichick took on a number of media roles, including analyst on the CW Network About the NFL.
Belichick is also expected to be a regular guest on ESPN’s ManningCast AndThe Pat McAfee Show while co-hosting the SiriusXM podcast “Let’s Go!” with sports journalist Jim Gray.
This level of presence in traditional media obviously requires that Belichick also have a corresponding presence in social media.
