Rush Propst has stepped down as Pell City’s head football coach after just one season. Propst told AL.com late Friday afternoon he felt it was the right thing to do.

His decision on Friday to step down from Pell City High School (Pell City, Alabama) after one year was a bit of a surprise (even with a reported lack of support from the school’s board of education). Last year saw Pell City go 1-10 but seven of their losses came by seven or fewer points.

Propst posted a letter of resignation to his X account Friday evening, stating that the decision was the "best path" for both the players and the school system.
