Generally, not every season is going to be a winning season, but it is alarming when a coach's record shows a lot of losses. Don't be alarmed by this question during an interview, the interviewer is going to do their research too, so it is better to be up front and honest with your record.
For this answer try to focus too much on what went wrong or putting blame on other people. The interviewer mainly wants to know how you plan to do better.
"My record does show quite a few losses, the team I coached with was brand new to sport. This is not an excuse, but for the first part of the season we were very focused on the basic skill of the game and working together as a whole. Towards the end of the season you are able to see we won a few games. I believe you should appoint me as head coach because I will not give up on the team and my focus is always on getting the players to improve."
