From "David Brent" to the man who some are starting to think can be the saviour of English football.
He won't leave us anytime soon but as England toil their way through the Euro qualifiers, more and more journalists will start speaking out about Brendan being the ideal candidate for the job because he embodies everything they want English football to be.
They laughed when he spoke about educating players rather than training them. They sniggered at the "soundbites" and compared the man to one of the most cringeworthy characters on television. One thing I loved this weekend was Brendan letting the media know in his press conference after the Spurs game that he hasn't forgotten all of that.
Rather than the golden boy of English football, a man who was recently appointed captain of his country despite not having a good internation tournament since his first one in 2004, all those journalists are pinning their hopes on a 19-year-old who, having spent just over two years being educated by Rodgers, has evolved from raw potential into one of the most exciting talents in world football, one whose incredible natural ability is matched by an in-game intelligence that is well beyond his years.
Rodgers has overseen the transformation of Jordan Henderson from a "£20 million flop" into the engine and future captain of one of the most exciting teams in European football. Daniel Sturridge has evolved from a supposed sulky Chelsea reject into one of the most potent and consistent goalscorers in the game. Jon Flanagan looked destined for the exit but attracted only one loan offer from a League One club; now he's the Scouse Cafu.
Brendan has truly had the last laugh on all those who dismissed him as some figure of fun whose opinion of himself far exceeded his coaching ability. Now they're seeing what we've all seen for the past eighteen months, that this man is one of the most talented and intelligent coaches in the game, someone with his finger firmly on the pulse and a clear philosophy that has propelled Liverpool Football Club from Hodgson-induced mid-table mediocrity back into the Champion's League.
The English press can carry on casting envious glances in our direction, forced to make do with the out-dated ides of a dinosaur while we continue to dismantle teams with a style and swagger that our brilliant young manager has instilled into his brilliant young squad, a style and swagger they could only dream of seeing from their national team. I've said it before but Brendan Rodgers was born to manage Liverpool and we're incredibly lucky to have him at our club.
Now those on the outside looking in are finally starting to realise that for themselves.
