The Real Bud Kilmer (Rush Propst) Saga Continues

[The Six]

As "reported" by Al.com
Rush Propst under investigation for alleged misconduct in Georgia, reports say

By Creg Stephenson | cstephenson@al.com
Controversial high school football coach Rush Propst is in the news again, and not in a good way.

Propst, the highly successful former coach at Hoover High School and several other schools in Alabama, was at the center of a 64-page deposition made public in Georgia on Tuesday. Propst is now head coach at Valdosta High School, historically among the more successful programs in the country.

According to multiple reports out of south Georgia, Valdosta City Schools Superintendent Todd Cason said the school is investigating the claims made in the deposition. Reached for comment by AL.com on Tuesday, Propst said he had no comment on the allegations.


In the deposition, Valdosta Touchdown Club director Michael Nelson accuses Propst of, among other things, taking funds meant to pay for stadium advertising for personal use, instructing Nelson to raise money to pay rent for a pair of high-profile quarterback transfers and interfering in the school’s coaching search. The deposition is part of a lawsuit brought by former Valdosta coach Alan Rodemaker, who is suing the school board for wrongful termination.

One of the two quarterbacks named in the deposition is Jake Garcia, who transferred to Valdosta from a California school but was later declared ineligible (Garcia landed at Grayson High School in Loganville and signed with Miami in December). The other is Amari Jones, a Class of 2022 prospect who transferred to Valdosta from Atlanta’s Carver High School.

Propst, was dismissed at Colquitt County High School in nearby Moultrie in early 2019, after being accused of various ethical violations. Propst briefly took a job at upstart USA Academy in Coosada, Ala., but was hired at Valdosta last March (Ironically, Rodemaker wound up as defensive coordinator at Colquitt County in 2020.)

Hoover, Colquitt, Valdosta - these are powerhouse programs hiring this asshat. I don't get it. Think Valdosta may have felt pressure since Lowndes hired former Prattville and Central PC coach Jamie Dubose......but still.....guy is a cancer. For the guy to get run out of Valdosta is saying a lot.
