Cody’s McFadden Tied 12th Among Active Coaches for All-Time Wins

Last week Wyoming-Football.com released a new addition to their website, looking at Wyoming’s top football coaches by victories. Only the top 100 coaches by total victories through the end of 2021 were shown.

I decided to go through the list and take a look at where area coaches landed.

We’ll start off with the obvious, Cody’s own Matt McFadden. Coach McFadden has been at the helm of Bronc Football since 2013. In that time he has compiled a record of 66-26. His 66 wins are tied for 58^th all-time in Wyoming and tied 12^th most among active coaches. He’s won four state titles and sports a .717 win percentage.

John E. Deti would coach at Meeteetse and Shoshoni for one year each and is third on the list with 205 total wins.
