- — Calhoun in the VGHS acceptance video
Sergeant Ernie Calhoun is the un-permissive Dean of VGHS and occasional antagonistic force to Brian D.
Overview
Season 1
Though he initially disliked Brian D, believing him to have gotten into VGHS on a "golden ticket", as of the Season 1 finale he and Brian are on better terms; Calhoun even congratulated him on his victory.
Season 2
Calhoun's now curly hair is a contrast to the buzz cut he had earlier. The fiasco with The Law has brought many changes upon the school: the former FPS Varsity Captain has left the country, forcing Calhoun to make the controversial decision of hiring the wild card Mary Matrix.
It is learned in Season 2, Episode 5 that Calhoun has a son, which Calhoun describes as a hardcore jerk.
Personality
Calhoun is very firm and a bit irritable, although he is still fair. He takes his responsibility as head of VGHS extremely seriously, running it in a highly authoritarian style reminiscent of a boot camp and showing no favor towards any student. Though he is apparently given orders by "administration", Calhoun has been known to disregard rules of VGHS he finds unfavorable, such as blockading Brian D from returning to compete in VGHS Clan tryouts in Episode 9 despite the latter's locking himself in the system to compete.
Relationships
Brian D
Calhoun has a complex relationship with his student Brian D. His initial impression of Brian is that he stands very little chance at his school, and he got into VGHS on a "golden ticket". When Brian is one point away from expulsion after the disastrous FPS scrimmage, Calhoun offers Brian the opportunity to leave the school quietly. He is of course enraged when Brian attacks a fellow student at signups, and expels him. At the Try-outs, Calhoun nearly prevents Brian from getting his second chance, although Brian reminds him of his motto. Calhoun says that he "hates that kid," but congratulates Brian after he wins and makes it back into the school. Calhoun's relationship with Brian is less antagonistic in the second season, although they are not very close.
Trivia
- Calhoun is allergic to tuna.
- We see Calhoun eating in several Episodes. It's most likely a innuendo to his career in EpicMealTime .
