School board relieves Propst of coaching duties

MOULTRIE – The era is over.

In a unanimous vote by the Colquitt County Board of Education – with plenty of opposition expressed in the meeting room – Rush Propst was relieved of his duties as the high school's head football coach in a special called meeting Thursday.

After an executive session lasting more than two hours, the full board and school superintendent Doug Howell returned to open session, where Howell made the unpopular recommendation.

Propst was suspended by Howell on Feb. 26 for what Howell called a pending investigation into personnel issues.

"Based on the result and all the evidence, I recommend the Colquitt County Board of Education permanently relieve Rush Propst as head football coach," said Howell. "Together with any and all coaching duties such that from this day forward, Rush Propst will no longer have any coaching duties for the Colquitt County school system."

Board member Pat Anderson made the motion to accept Howell's recommendation, and board member Kevin Sumner seconded.

As board chairman Mary Beth Watson read a prepared statement, several members of a standing-room only crowd made their feelings known, none of which supported the move. Numerous times people asked what Propst did to bring about his firing, but they didn’t get an answer. The board has yet to disclose any allegations against Propst.
