Rushing Propst off the field

Those who remember MTV's soapy and frankly rather silly foray into high school athletics, "Two-A-Days: Hoover High," will certainly recall Rush Propst, the bombastic coach who led the Alabama school's football team to a state title, while frightening parents all over the country with his antics.

Well, Propst resigned last week as coach amid reports of grade changing and preferential treatment for the players, as well as the use of an ineligible player and the revelation that members of the Hoover coaching staff spied on a rival before a game.

Remarkably, Propst will be allowed to finish out the season as coach, because apparently there is very little you could do as coach of an Alabama football team that would warrant being relieved of your duties before the end of the year. That is, besides losing.
