Legendary NFL coach Bill Belichick has launched his official Instagram, or as he calls himself, “Instaface.”
And he's already starting to get the hang of things after reposting a photo of his girlfriend Jordan Hudson.
Belichick made the announcement on Instagram during an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Wednesday, receiving thunderous applause from the audience.
And Belichick's first Instagram Story was a repost from Hudson, 23, who shared a photo of the six-time Super Bowl winning head coach petting a goat at the U.S. Naval Academy.

“I'm leaving 'Billy Goat' to @bill.t.goat at @usnavalacademy,” Belichick wrote on his Story. “Thanks for the warm welcome, J!”
Though they have been photographed together, Belichick has never publicly acknowledged a relationship with Hudson, marking a first for the 72-year-old.
Bill Belichick explains in one sentence why it's difficult to lure free agents to the Patriots.
“This is an official petition to get @BillBelichick to change his handle to @BillyGoat!!” Hudson captioned the photo with a goat emoji.

“Welcome to Instagram, Billy!!!” she added.
Belichick's first post on his new page was a video statement explaining why he was joining the social media platform.
“Being away from the team the last few months, I didn't have a chance to express my thoughts immediately,” said Belichick, who left the New England Patriots after more than two decades with the franchise and never took a head coaching job again.
“So now I'm trying to change that. I tried to get on 'SnapFace' but I couldn't find it. I decided this would be a good place to talk to you guys and show you what I'm up to.”
Belichick jumped into the sports media world after failing to find another coaching job, so it made sense for him to get involved in social media.

Belichick may be getting some help, but he's certainly off to a strong start in his Instagram debut, and Hudson is doing his part to make Belichick feel welcome.
