Part 7/10:
The idea of Belichick pivoting into media was compared to others who have successfully transformed their brands. Dan Orlovsky and Dan Waskowski, for instance, moved from perceived mediocrity or joke status into respected broadcasters, emphasizing that a good personality and insightful commentary can significantly change public perception over time.
For example, Orlovsky, initially seen as a backup quarterback with limited standing, became a respected analyst. Waskowski, once mocked for poor play, is now a highly regarded ESPN broadcaster thanks to his knowledge and courage. The consensus is that Belichick could similarly rebrand himself through media, especially if he focuses on strategic and storytelling content rather than coaching.
