And what happened next, according to Prof. Taylor, proved what a disaster white male privilege is — “students were more productive, and I was more effective at getting what I want.” I know, I know. As absurd and tuition-wasting as Prof. Taylor’s game was, even more upsetting was what a hit job she did on Coach Eric Taylor in her piece. That is not the Coach Taylor quarterback Jason Street knew when the coach comforted the paralyzed young player and made sure he heard how much respect the coach had for him. That is not the Coach Taylor that the coach’s wife, Tami, knew when the two went through ups and downs in a lovely depiction of an unusually respectful, equal, and communicative marriage. Indeed, considering that he was a football coach in a (fictitious) Texas town that was obsessed with high school football — and more specifically with winning high school football — Coach Taylor had an unexpectedly healthy attitude about achievement.
