Fresh faces,of the Coaches, for two Auburn foes

The Press-Register and al.com are counting down the final days (70) until the first Saturday of the college football season on Sept. 4.
Auburn linebacker Craig Stevens (46) wraps up Kentucky tailback Derrick Locke (20) in the first quarter at Jordan-Hare Stadium Saturday October 17, 2009 in Auburn, Ala. Being a head football coach is a precarious way to make a living, even at a bottom-of-the-BCS place like ULM. Louisiana-Monroe has a new football coach this year in Todd Berry, who previously held the top job at Illinois State and Army. Auburn faces ULM on Oct. 2 at Jordan-Hare Stadium.Berry replaced Charlie Weatherbie, who was fired after finishing 6-6, a fairly respectable mark for a program that regularly plays a murderers' row schedule. Weatherbie had guided the Warhawks since 2003, and was best remembered for beating Alabama 21-14 in Tuscaloosa to cap ULM's best season since it ascended to Division I-A . Berry is one of two new coaches Auburn will face on the schedule. Kentucky's Joker Phillips is in his first season as head coach after being designated as the successor to Rich Brooks two years ago.Auburn plays the Wildcats on Oct. 9 in Lexington.
