Overview

• Bill Belichick appeared at an NYU Stern panel with former Bears VP of Communications Brandon Faber, signaling ongoing talks to bring him on board for PR support.
• Jordon Hudson, Belichick's girlfriend, was absent from the NYU event despite reportedly being in New York and planning to attend.
• The move to consult Faber follows backlash from a CBS interview in which Hudson intervened on-air and the couple later issued conflicting statements with the network.
• Sources suggest Hudson's influence over Belichick's professional affairs may be diminishing as he seeks experienced communications support.
• Hudson is focusing on her personal goals, including competing in the Miss Maine pageant this weekend.
