Bill Belichick’s digital footprint continues to grow – the head football coach at the University of North Carolina just opened his own X account!!
The 72-year-old Tar Heels manager fired off his first post Elon Musk's platform on Monday… saying: “'Beat Dook', my first words as a boy are my first words on X! Go Heels!!” and add a few hashtags for good measure, including #ChapelBill.
The coach made sure it was a real account and not a fake… he was taking a break from his first day of recruiting along with his son, Steveto make the big announcement on “The Pat McAfee Show.”
It's an important step for Coach – after all, he has to interact with a lot of young talent to make sure he's building a competitive roster… and high school students live on social media.
BB only follows 16 users at the moment – so far it's a number of Tar Heel-related accounts, NFL insiders, his girlfriend and Class of 2026 recruits Zavion Griffin Haynes And Gavin Waddell.
Living online wasn't always Belichick's thing – after all, he famously said he was “not on SnapFace” or “InstaChat”… but he's now made it to Instagram too.
