It's nice to see someone turn their passion into a paying gig. Well deserved.

Tremendous is a great site that has provided us with great information, and it was likely only a matter of time before they moved up in the world. Like others, I would read the site often, so that does create a space where I may have to face my fears and do some actual work.

 Excellent opportunity, I would imagine, and congratulations to him.

Praise is the only thing a lot of these guys ever hear, so what's it matter that Magnus gives them a little criticism?   On TTB he states that he's a high school coach, emphasizing on LB's and DL, which doesn't mean he's an expert, but he probably has a more technical understanding than a lot of us do.

I for one, appreciate his views on a lot of players.  My only complaint is, I wish he posted more content, but it's his hobby/side job so I understand.  The way he conducts himself reminds me a lot of my old DL coach in high school, who would tell you how it is.

 

P.S. - Coach Coombs, is that you?

Pure speculation on my part re: why Tremendous was hired/mysteriously disappeared from MGoBlog, but philosophically I don't think he meshed.  He's very good at making direct contact with recruits and gaining their trust and writing up interviews but the blog seems to take a more wholistic view of the recruiting process.  As such we've seen less interviews with potential recruits from Ace lately.  Just a thought.

However props to this guy, he really climbed the ladder from nowhere.

Ace is more of an information gatherer than what Tremendous did.

Tremendous did interviews and direct contact. For the most part, Ace takes information from elsewhere and relays it to us.
