The school board tried getting rid of him last week and failed.

I live here. My understanding is that he realized they weren't going to let him do his job. It would be constant fighting and distractions. Which isn't good for the kids, so he decided to finally give in despite winning the vote last week.

Some members of the community have this one completely wrong. Pell City Football has never had any kind of spotlight on it till now. Yes, it was initially bad attention, but in the end he drives headlines, which is good for players and the community. Especially if he were able to start winning. I do not give a shite about his personal life, dude was a good hire for what they needed. Pell City is a nice place to live, but there are some fricking idiots here just like every where else. Wouldn't be surprised if the main opponents aren't even here full time, just live on the lake in the summer.

Not necessarily wrong, but they were terrible before he got here. Won 3 games combined in the 2 years prior. Rebuilds take longer than 1 year, especially with a limited talent pool.

He is a constant train wreck, and how anyone could hire him after the stuff he pulled in Colquitt County and Valdosta is beyond any rational thought.

Propst has won and won big everywhere he’s been. He is older and his health has been an issue but to run him off when you weren’t shite before him seems questionable. The board knew what they were getting when they hired him.

Pell City isn’t Hoover, Colquitt or Valdosta. They’re a bottom tier 6A program looking for a spark. Hiring the train wreck and then aborting because he’s a train wreck? That’s on them.

The guy has burned bridges everywhere he's been.

He is napalm.

Stinks because he's a brilliant coach.

Had he not been a piece of shite, Saban hires
him at Bama over Pruitt. The timing of it - his second family came out around the time that Saban took over.

Any system that hires that guy to coach and mentor young men deserves the shitshow he inevitably brings with him. Even if he’s winning, which he very much was not in Pell City, the shitshow will always come.

I can't think of another so-called mentor being so bankrupt of character. What price glory?

He wins a lot of those plastic high school trophies, though.

Trust me: it's still bad attention. He drives headlines because he's a cancer and destroys everything he touches. The city also got attention because no one could believe they were dumb enough to hire him given his track record.

When you’ve gotten gone from your 4th or 5th school with controversy always surrounding you, maybe you are the problem. What do ya think?

If you’re someone who is in charge of leading young men, your personal life does still matter.
