Patriots' Bill Belichick evokes past mocking of social media with coaching future comments

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick gave a classic non-answer when discussing his future with the organization on Tuesday.

The 71-year-old also brought back an oft-used strategy during one of his responses, mocking the popularity of social media.

Belichick's hilarious quote has multiple head-scratching parts.

Most obviously, when he says "MyFace," it appears that he's combining the 20-year-old social networking service "MySpace" and one of the most popular social media platforms "Facebook." He also refers to Twitter, which is technically known as X now, but that's a relatively minor mistake.

Other instances where Belichick has, whether on purpose or not, combined two social media platform names include when he asked a reporter if they were using "SnapFace" (a combination of Snapchat and Facebook) and when he mentioned "SnapFace" and "InstaChat" (combining Instagram and Snapchat) in one beautiful 2017 quote.

In 2011, Belichick said "I don't Twitter, I don't MyFace, I don't Yearbook" and in 2014, when discussing the upcoming NFL Draft, he said "What's online, you should go talk to the geniuses that are online. I don't know. MyFace, YourFace, InstantFace."

It was reported last week that the three-time AP Coach of the Year has recently "expressed doubt" regarding his future with the Patriots amid a historically poor season. New England is set to miss the playoffs for the second straight season and will finish in last place in the AFC East with their worst season since 2000 when they finished 5-11.

That was Belichick's first year at the helm and Tom Brady was a rookie, still one season away from taking over as the starting quarterback.
