Bill Belichick hardly had a great relationship with the media during his time as head coach of the New England Patriots. He's now a media member himself.
He also misnamed social media platforms for years. Now, he's on one himself.
Belichick joined Instagram on Wednesday, whether or not he's actually the person running his account that quickly gained over 120,000 followers. Among the 12 people that account follows are former Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and former New England assistant and Boston College football chief of staff Berj Najarian.
Belichick also follows some expected accounts related to his media career such as Peyton and Eli Manning, Pat McAfee, NFL Films and an account for his "Coach" program through Underdog Fantasy.
