Is this the same second family that was in spell City when he was at Hoover or ANOTHER second family?
From the Hoover days, but Arab’s coach got fired recently so rush has a chance to get closer to his glory days.
he was the focal point of a show on MTV about twenty years ago that was basically Friday Night Lights but in real life with the scumbag coach doing illegal things at every turn and all the inane bullshit of high school life. show did two seasons then the year after he got exposed for a lot of cheating and oh yea, he had a completely whole-ass separate family on the side. the man juggled two families, seriously. most people on this board (late 30s to mid 40s CFB fans) spent HS or college watching that show and being utterly fascinated, especially with the whirlwind of fuckery that is Rush Propst. trouble always seems to find him, hence this thread.
Ah okay. That makes sense. I was kind of enjoying the mystery of the hate this board had for a random guy though.
no, and that's why he quit at Hoover, because it was such a huge scandal. had this ridiculous PC, cried a lot, the works. believe he lives with the side family now.
Y'all forgive me because I know I have told this story a few times in the past on here and IRL. I played against him twice. First time was as a freshman so i was just on the sidelines. we lost in 4OT and he came into our locker room and told us we deserved to win. kind of showed up our coach. junior year I was actually on the field we played him in season 2 of their show. we were both undefeated and ranked in the top 3 in the state. Bham News picked us to win. We were all so excited about the MTV cameras coming up and this was our big moment to get on TV. We had a 5 star TE/LB (Rolando McClain) so we thought we had enough juice to make some noise and maybe be featured in an episode. We go up 7-0 on a long Rolando touchdown. We are jumping up and down losing our minds. Hell yeah this is our moment! they proceeded to score 56 unanswered on our asses and we made a 3 second clip on the show where they showed the scoreboard 56-7 lol. they were fucking good. pretty sure they had to forfeit that win along with the rest that season for playing with illegally recruited players. Rush Propst is, and always will be, a cheating asshole.
It’s scary to think how good Rolando could have been if he had ever really loved and committed to football.
The best coaching job Saban did was keeping him out of Decatur. The most trouble he got in here was beating the shit out of the frat kid who called him an N-word.
Guy I played with and coached for coached for Propst at Colquitt County. Said he’s an absolute lunatic, which everyone knows, but also incredibly quirky. It was a running joke among the coaches’ wives that anytime he put his playsheet over his mouth a member of the coaching staff was getting motherfucked.
I stumbled upon the first season of Two A Days yesterday and watched a few episodes. I had no clue Jeremy Pruitt was the DC at Hoover during that time. But it’s been 20 years since I’ve watched it. finished the episode where they beat Tebow.
I coached with a few people who coached under him and heard a lot of the same things (especially the motherfucking every coach). He also would always set early morning staff meetings that he wouldn't show up for until 2 or 3 hours later. In his last year at colquitt, he got 4 new tires on his truck and refused to pay a dime. Told them the booster club would take care of it. After that, a lot of those same financial issues started to come out. A lot of unpaid taxes iirc.
He also had an incident with a principal there in the later years. Told them that he doesn't answer to them and threatened to get the principal fired. He's been unhinged for a long long time.
