Rush Propst Returns as Interim Coach at Coosa Christian Amid Controversy
Coosa Christian, Alabama — Rush Propst, the polarizing figure in high school football, has been appointed as the interim head coach for Coosa Christian High School for the 2025 season, reigniting discussions about his storied yet scandal-ridden career.
The 67-year-old coach gained fame as the tough leader of Hoover High School’s football team, featured in MTV’s reality series “Two-A-Days.” Under his leadership, Hoover clinched five state championships in a six-year span. However, Propst’s coaching tenure has consistently been marred by controversies. He was dismissed from Hoover in 2007 for allegedly altering player grades, engaging in multiple extramarital affairs, and maintaining a second family.
Following his departure from Hoover, he was hired at Colquitt County in Georgia, winning another state championship in 2015. Yet, he was suspended the following season for headbutting a player and was later fired amid investigations involving undisclosed pills dispensed to athletes and significant tax debts.
Propst’s most recent stint as head coach at Valdosta High School saw him embroiled in further allegations of employing ineligible players, resulting in hefty fines and the forfeiture of games. After a brief tenure at Pell City, where he resigned under pressure, he returned to Coosa Christian as the associate head coach.
With head coach Mark O’Bryant suspended to circumvent a postseason ban, Propst now takes the helm. His track record suggests that while the Conquerors may appear as strong championship contenders, the question remains: how long can he maintain a scandal-free environment? Propst’s first game with Coosa Christian will be closely watched, as fans and critics alike anticipate his next move in a career defined by both triumphs and turmoil.
