If I owned a dealership that sold expensive import or domestic automobiles, I would allow them to be taken out on a Demo basis by Rush Propst, John Grass, or anyone that I knew would get my dealership additional exposure. This is extremely cost effective advertising dollars at work. My dealership would not have to report it to the IRS on behalf of any individual driving the automobile, and the other party would not have to list the automobile as any type of income or gift line item on their tax return. Test Drives (even overnight) and Loaners (for days, weeks, or months) are legal, of no issue with the IRS, and are ethical. They would be doing me a favor if one of my cars were parked at a Hoover or Spain Park High School football game.

Come to think about it, maybe I own a dealership. Or two or three.

Mr. Broadway told his coaches he better not EVER see them driving a dealership car. Wonder why he said that?

I wasn't trying to start a campaign against auto dealers. I was just answering the poster's question about why Rush could be driving a shiny red Mercedes convertible on a head coach's salary.

If a dealership wants to give him a car to drive, so what? It's pretty common way to advertise. It's especially common with radio personalities who advertise for a dealership. I'll be those vehicles are accruing some mileage though, with all of those trips to Pell City. Grin

I have no problem with perks for a head coach. It comes with the territory and isn't exclusive to HHS.

Wasn't directed at you Chuck.

Again, that's only rumor. I have no facts to back it up. Maybe someone else would care to chime in.

Is there anyone with links to the dealership (Crown) that might know?

I was standing in front of Hoover High School not too long ago when RP drove up in his black Dealer truck. I saw with my own eyes that he got out of it from the driver's side. I'd heard the rumors, too, but until I saw it, I couldn't be sure. Now I'm sure.

So what is the advertising slogan? We get our coach anywhere he needs to go. Family, lovers, games, we can do it all!!

I just want to know why it should not be made public, if he did this? I think it should be, because if it kept quiet another school will have the same problem if they hire him, and everything was kept quiet.

I think anytime a person that has any influence over children or teenagers, and they are let go because of moral behavior it should be public so other places that are thinking of hiring that person know why he or she was let go. They should know what type person they are hiring.

I know several of the Applebee's managers very well and I can tell you RP does not expect to ever pay for his meal or those that are dinning with him.

I have been told a story about he and his wife not paying his bar tab at a restaurant in Patton Creek. (bartender) He seems to expect this preferential treatment. The bartender was appalled.

Speaking of his WIFE....... Noone seems to say much about her and what she thinks about all these allegations..... There has to be someone out there that knows. I have read some posts that say they didn't even know he had a wife? How can he be the head coach at HHS and noone know anymore about him than that. He kids go to school there, so why would you not know if he has a wife or not.

Because if Broadway couldnt have one, coach couldn't have one.

I too heard of issues like this from people who work at restaurants and bars around the city. He gets rather indignant when they don't know who he is.

With all due respect, if his wife goes out in public in Hoover, with what she has been and will continue to go through, she deserves a few drinks on the house. Although free liquor is probably what has kept herself from killing him.
