HOOVER, Ala. (AP) -The coach of the high school football program first featured in MTV's "Two-A-Days'' program resigned Tuesday night amid a school board investigation, forfeits and turmoil in Rush Propst's personal life.
Hoover High School had to forfeit four games this season because the state association ruled it played an ineligible player.
The Hoover city school board on Tuesday night unanimously voted to accept Propst's resignation, but Propst will remain in place through the end of the current season.
Under the agreement, Propst will coach through the end of the season and then be transferred to another job within the school system until his resignation takes effect Aug. 31.
A school board investigation found evidence of grade changing and preferential treatment for some football players, raised questions about the program's finances, and concluded that Propst, who is married and has children, has supported a second family in another town.
Propst, who has five state titles and a 108-15 record at Hoover, spoke to the audience after the meeting. He addressed concerns raised by the investigation and expressed his regret for some actions in his personal life. But he also reiterated his pride in the program's accomplishments.
Despite the forfeits, the Bucs are still considered a leading contender for a sixth state championship under Propst.

This is crazy how do you support a second family with a football coaches salary. Only in Alabama I guess. What does he do now? BC might need a coach in a year or two after those cigarettes get to Herndon.
...austin... i like your thinkin...sign him up...bring both his families..BC will gladly take them in
i read his salary was just over 100,000 a year.
