Former Hoover coach Rush Propst has been placed on administrative leave by the Colquitt County (Ga.) school system, according to multiple media reports.

Administrative leave is essentially a suspension with pay.

WALB TV reports Colquitt County Schools Superintendent Doug Howell as saying the school system is launching an investigation into “personnel issues.”

This morning Colquitt County placed Rush Propst on paid administrative leave indefinitely.

Propst left Hoover amid controversy after the 2007 season and took over at Colquitt County, where he’s going 119-35 and won two state titles and made multiple other trips to the championship game.

Immediate efforts to reach Propst failed.

At Hoover, Propst compiled a 110-16 record and won five state championships. He has more than 300 career head coaching wins in Alabama and Georgia.
