Let’s take the drug issues out because that is a serious and criminal allegation. If he received all these letters reprimanding him by the principal, in South Carolina, there would be enough cause to fire him. Don’t know how things work in Georgia but here contracts are year to year and it’s pretty easy to fire someone for insubordination. If.you have reprimanded them before

Ah, I see. Like the people who make national rankings for HS.
I took it as interest on a national level. My bad
Yeah, that's exactly what I meant, the types of programs that are regularly featured in the USA Today national rankings, and that will play an opening week game against another highly ranked team from another state and have those inter-state opening week games featured on ESPN or something.
I'm not delusional enough to think that anybody truly cares. Hell I went to Hoover and my own senior year I stopped caring and went to only 2 games that year because at 17 I had better shite to do on a Friday night than watch HS football

Over 50% of high school principals across the nation don’t stay in that position more than five years. Could be someone new has just had enough and wants to move another direction.

Poor Rush. They've pulled epic chokejobs in the last 2 7A title games.

I don’t know the man other than what I read. So I really don’t want to judge the guy. I will say this though coming from someone who has coached and been an administrator I would have a problem if the South Carolina High School League was calling me about the same coach every other year. Probably have to have a little chat.

BUT, they were young, impressionable teenagers playing for the best HS program in the State and they were winning like crazy, so it was understandable.

Propst is a shady character to say the least. And there's no doubt he'd push the envelop relative to running his program. If he had walked a straight line and taken care of his personal life, he'd have been a college level HC by now.

Sounds like a dirty coach that only got as dirty as he got because he was enabled for years. There's a lot more people than just this guy that's responsible for this.....

That’s a good point.

My guess is this stuff is coming to light because that always what happens when people get in trouble.
The media starts looking for more ways to find other stuff.
I think this makes the school board look worse for keeping him for so long.

Propst is a complete slime. He probably has 3 or 4 families he has to manage, so that’s why he missed so much time.

So you're a vestavia or Spain park alum?

Someone remind me how he got caught with having two families?

Who names their football team the High Packers?
The team was named 'Packers' because Colquitt County used to have a very big meat-packing industry in the early part of the 20th century when the school was established. You know...kind of like how Green Bay was named 'Packers' because their first sponsor was a meat-packing plant.
In fact, Colquitt County's teams were named Packers several years before Green Bay even became a team.

Because his second family lived in Pelham which is literally right next door to Hoover, and they lived in a home that Propst owned. Kind of hard to keep something like that a secret for too long
Fwiw (probably not much), after everything came out and his first wife divorced him he legally married the second woman and they're still happily married today

If Colquitt County is anything like Hoover then he didn't even have to recruit.
If you have ever been to Colquitt County, you would know that he did have to recruit.
Moultrie is about 25 miles North of where I live. Colquitt is a small county, not very populated outside of the county seat of Moultrie, very poor, and very dependent on agri-business. There's less than 20,000 people living in the whole county, the crime rate is not good, and nobody is breaking their arse to move in there. Before Propst came along, Colquitt Co. had exactly one state title in 95 years of playing high school football.
That's why he had to recruit.

I have not, hence my statement
The allegations of recruiting at Hoover always seemed pretty ridiculous and baseless, but it definitely makes sense at a place like you describe

Probably why he end up there from Alabama. They were desperate to win and would put up with this mess and he needed a job.
