I was wondering where he would land or what he would do after leaving Hoover. Also his OC is a new HC in Georgia.

 

Good luck to both.

Former Hoover High football coach Rush Propst lands job coaching at Georgia high school

Wednesday, January 30, 2008

Staff and wire reports

 

Rush Propst, the hard-driving football coach from Hoover High School and colorful reality star on the MTV series "Two-A-Days: Hoover High," will be named the head coach of Colquitt County High in Moultrie, Ga., today.

 

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, which reported Propst’s hiring on its Web site Tuesday night, Propst said he liked the challenge of Georgia’s Region 1-AAAAA, which he called "one of the toughest this country has.

 

"When you talk about Valdosta, Lowndes, Colquitt County, Northside, Warner Robins, they know where that is. That’s what excites me about this job — the traditions of these South Georgia towns."

Propst won five Alabama state titles in nine seasons at Hoover.

 

Propst told The Birmingham News this morning he accepted the Colquitt County job in part because it is a one-school town.

 

"It’s all about Packer football in this county," he said. "There’s one school and you feel like everybody is pulling for one deal."

 

Propst declined to say how much money he will make except to say it is "very, very close" to what he made at Hoover. "There will be some benefits and things that can be better. Hoover was just a base salary," said Propst, whose base salary at Hoover was $100,678.

 

Propst resigned in October amid an academic scandal at the high school and questions about his personal life and outside income.

 

"I was just honest with (Colquitt County) and told them the truth, and they checked it out and felt like I was their guy," Propst said. "I think the (Pointer) report helps me in a lot of areas. I think the report exonerates me in about everything but pressuring the teacher, and they investigated that situation and know what it’s about and really had no problem with it."

 

Unlike at Hoover, Propst said, he will spend most of his time coaching. Propst said it felt as if he spent 90 percent of his time at Hoover raising money.

 

"What was really impressive to me was their gate receipts were triple what Hoover brings in on Friday nights," Propst said. "They want to win football games. I wouldn’t be here if they didn’t."

 

Colquitt County has been without a head coach since Dec. 7, when Tim Cokely resigned after the Packers went 2-8 in 2007. During his three years, he posted a 14-18 record.

 

A Colquitt search committee interviewed some 10 candidates.

He really seems like a scum bag.

Yes, probably is a scumbag. But he will win and win big and that is all that matters in south Georgia.

Colquitt County's superintendant is/was Leonard McCoy. Ex-Supt at Williamsburg Independent, KY, Carroll Co., KY, and Warren Co., KY. Knows little about football but lets his coaches coach. Rips when necessary but always face to face. Good man. Great family. Hopefully a great hire for him and Colquitt County.
