Bill Belichick is rarely seen being overtly friendly.
The New England Patriots head coach is known for his stoic press conferences and mild-mannered nature.
At Monday night’s Super Bowl LI media day, Belichick went against the grain and went in for a “bro” hug with Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn. Unfortunately, Quinn left Belichick hanging, filling Minute Maid Park in Houston with awkward tension.
You can check out the cringeworthy moment below.

The two head coaches will inevitably cross paths again on Feb. 5 for Super Bowl LI. After Quinn’s denial this time around, he might have lost hugging privileges from Belichick moving forward.
