Rush, rush

It didn't take long for disgraced former Hoover (Ala.) football coach Rush Propst to land on his feet after he was forced to resign following grade changing and ineligibility scandals, not to mention his inexplicable behavior during MTV's Two-a-Days reality series.

Propst was hired last week at Colquitt County High in Moultrie, Ga., to turn around a team that finished 2-8 last season. Propst won five championships in Alabama, so he can clearly coach 'em up, as they say down South. But it's obvious from his pattern of conduct at Hoover, which is documented for all to see on DVDs, that the people in Moultrie are far less interested in Hoover's ability to mold men of character than in his talent for hanging banners.

And after all, isn't that what high school athletics is about these days?
