Southern Mississippi University has fired head football coach Ellis Johnson after one season. Well given there is only one season here are the numbers.
2012: 0-12; #120 ranked overall; #116 offense and #112 defense.
This is compared to a team that went 11-2 the season before and had the #38 most productive team overall in 2011.
OK, a lot has been written about Embree's firing at Colorado and racism, but I have not read anything about Johnson's firing as racist. Why not?
