This season, the ULM Warhawks continued their silly streak of winning two fewer games than the year prior, only this time a 2-11 record cost head coach Todd Berry his job.
It didn't have to go this way. Every season, someone has to finish last in their conference—but it didn't have to be the ULM Warhawks in the Sun Belt.
After an 8-5 season in 2012 and an invitation to the AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl, the team has regressed by two wins in every season since. This is how a team one year finishes last in its conference; it's also how Todd Berry, praised for the "mighty impressive things in one of the tougher jobs in the FBS" he does, loses said job.
