On March 20, 2012, head coach Martino Theus was fired after an 0-3 start for the Hound Dogs.[1] Former indoor player, Eric Bingham was hired as his replacement.[2] However, when the UIFL stepped in when owner Marty Cooper couldn't afford the team, the UIFL took over the team and named Martino Theus the head coach once again.[3] The Hound Dogs cancelled all remaining home games, but fulfilled all their remaining road games.
