She messes up his title and calls him the wrong name and we should calm ourselves? Nah, she was likely told his title a lot White people have a hard time calling BLACK People in academia Doctor. I've seen it and heard stories from Ph.Ds who have lived it.

Yep she went into that interview with the mindset "I'm white and superior, therefor I will not call him Dr." Give me a break BHS, leave the politics and stick to football.

I'm glad I decided a long time ago not to hold anything you say against the other Whitehaven Fans . By doing that I discovered that Whitehaven has some great fans on here . I really hope other people across the State don't pre-Judge Whitehaven because of you , but sadly , I bet some do . I despise Racism , no matter where it comes from .

I thought the interview was absolutely great.  She did fine, and he was exquisite.  He handled himself very, very, very well.  You guys should be proud, and you obviously are.  But she did fine, there's no way she knew he was a Dr. and he doesn't seem like the guy who would boast about being a Dr.  Calm yourselves.

 

He's classy. It has nothing to do with bragging or boasting. It has everything to do with professionalism. You address a PhD as Dr. It's just common courtesy and a show of respect for the title. It's the professional way to handle that type of interview. 

 

But to end the segment by calling him Mr. Taylor. That was just awful. I'm being nice here. At LEAST get the man's name right. 

 

He's not going to make a fuss about it because that's the type of guy he is. He probably felt sorry for her in how she bungled things. 

 

No big deal to Dr. Hunter because he used the opportunity to promote the school. He got out of it what he wanted.

 

Let me take it one step further. When I go to the games and I see him in the stands, I address my friend and class mate as "Dr. Hunter" when in public. Especially when he is in his element at the football games. He's always the Principal of Whitehaven where ever he goes. When I am with him and it is just us, or some other of my class mates who may be at the game or whatever, and we AREN'T in the public spotlight. I call him  by his first name without the title. I am fully aware and cognizant of when and where I am when I address him. He's my classmate and a friend. He's also earned my respect to address him as Dr. when we are in public. To address him otherwise in public, is just downright disrespectful. He and I never have had a conversation about when and where I address him as Dr. I do it automatically out of courtesy and respect. We don't have to have that conversation. 

 

I am calm however.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
