Rush Propst, perhaps the best-known high school football coaches in the nation, has stepped down<\/a> from a position he took on just last year.<\/p>\n

Propst, who became nationally known as the head coach of Hoover High School (Hoover, Alabama), has had success mixed with controversy throughout his nearly three decades on the sidelines. The ‘Two-A-Days’ program, a reality show that ran for three years on MTV, chronicled life at Hoover and made Propst one of the most widely-known figures in prep sports.<\/p>\n

But the show also drew criticism for Propst’s hard-charging and unapologetic style.<\/p>\n

His decision on Friday to step down from Pell City High School (Pell City, Alabama) after one year was a bit of a surprise (even with a reported lack of support<\/a> from the school’s board of education). Last year saw Pell City go 1-10 but seven of their losses came by seven or fewer points.<\/p>\n

Five of those losses were by fewer than four points. It was progress, especially for a program that hasn’t had a winning season since 2017<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to AL.com<\/a>, a special meeting of the Pell City Board of Education was called to accept Propst’s resignation.<\/p>\n

In a post on social media on Friday, Propst outlined his reasons for leaving the post:<\/p>\n

“It has never been my desire to cause controversy or division in this community. I believe Pell City’s brightest days are ahead of it but I’ve concluded that I am not the right person to lead this program at this time.”<\/p>\n
