That's not even close to the real story. Probst is one of the most crooked and Shady coach's and men you will ever come across. Many men and women lost their jobs back in the day for trying to cross him and get him out of Hoover. He didn't leave quietly and took an act of Congress to get him out of Hoover. Now he's one of the best HS Coach's in the country. Top 3-5 in the US. But having him at your school comes with a huge price and he's a control freak to the 2nd power. Whatever he wants he gets no matter what it takes. Doubt that's changed at his job in GA.
This times 1000%. I live in Hoover and spent/spend a lot of time around the Bucs program doing various volunteer work. Propst is a despicable person. He had grade changes going on to keep his players eligible including those at the middle schools! Recruiting from other area schools...Chad Jackson wasnt the only one. MANY more he scooped up and magically became Hoover residents. Got teachers fired, etc. Complete mayhem surrounds this bull in a china shop.
One of the reasons Pruitt got the job at Hoover was he camped out at Propst house and kept harassing him for the DB coaching job that was open. After one year the DC got a HC job in South Alabama and Pruitt was bumped to DC. Thats about the time Satan arrived at Alabama and Hoover was loaded with prospects. Shula had failed miserably recruiting Hoover and Satan realized they needed an "in" at Hoover with so many prospects. its essentially how Pruitt got hired at Alabama, to deliver some of these Hoover players and he did. He was hired as an off the filed coach, like player personnel or something like that. Everyone around Hoover knew what was going on with the Alabama hire of Pruitt. Propst wanted the job but his slimy past prevented it hence Pruitt was the next best choice.
Pruitt was a great coach in the short time he spent at Hoover but he's 100% bammer gump all the way. He absolutely walked into the perfect situation at Fla St as they were LOADED on D with talent.
Not sure how Pruitt is going to work our for you guys (Washington Fan here but have lived in Hoover for work the last 20 years) but I have a mutual disdain for Bammer arrogance. Im surrounded by these gumpers on a daily basis. Makes my head explode.
Pruitt is raw, green and everywhere he's coached has been loaded with talent. Just think about this, when Satan was holding up the Crystal football for LSU, Jeremy Pruitt was a non position high school coach in Fort Payne, Alabama.
Best of luck, beat Bammer gumps please.
