Bill Belichick enjoyed celebrating his 300th career win with girlfriend Linda Holliday

Bill Belichick has created a persona for dealing with the media that has led to the perception that he is a grouch. Despite that persona, we have learned the guy actually does have fun sometimes.

Take for instance how Belichick celebrated his 300th career NFL win, which he achieved in the New England Patriots’ win over the Cleveland Browns last weekend. Belichick’s girlfriend Linda Holliday shared photos on Instagram of the coach celebrating with balloons, a cake, and what appeared to be some bubbly.

“I was a part of those but, honestly, players win games in this league and I've been fortunate that I've coached a lot of great ones.” ~ I couldn’t be prouder! ☺️ Congratulations on your 300th win baby!!! Woohoo!!!

Sure, Belichick may bust his players’ balls regularly, but he does enjoy himself from time to time. We even saw him smile during a game this season, though that was for an even better reason.

His Patriots being 8-0 to start the season is giving him plenty of reasons to be happy, though he won’t be truly satisfied until they win the Super Bowl at the end of the year.
