369 wins?!?!? WOW!

To put that into a bit of perspective, every team plays a minimum of 9 games and a max of 14. If you win 9 games a season (well above average), it would take 41 years to get to 369.



Edit: My HS football coach was successful and was around (what seemed like) forever and he only had 209 wins.

Actually I believe it's a 9 game season and 6 game playoff. (3 sectionals, regional, semi-state and Championship)

I believe Coach Wright is around 46-48 seasons now. Not exactly sure of how many years it is. Word from the fans at the game said Coach Wright's High School football coach actually gave him the game ball. Man, that guy has to be pushin 100....not sure who he is or how old he is.

Awesome, just remember to leave your guns at home if you go to any playoff games (technically not just locked in your trunk)!

It's an 8 game season around here, but apparently it's different everywhere...Some schools only play 7 in the regular season.

Yep, don't bring one unless you plan on parking off school grounds and leaving it in your car.

My HS coach isn't too far behind him... I couldn't find win percentage stats for coach Wright, but . 632 total win ratio and .716 playoff win ratio. with 50% sectional titles in his years as head coach (16 Sectional titles in 32 years of coaching).

Interesting fact, he was my dads coach as well... now that's a coach that was around for a while... sadly, he retired to spend more time with his wife who was battling cancer.

I didn't much like him for his personality, but he was a darn good coach...

That's how it is in Sheridan. Coached my dad, myself and all my brothers. 47 season as a head coach, with 44 of them being at Sheridan. Such an amazing accomplishment.

I'm thinking Cabby O'neal of Jasper was the prior record holder. Congrats on the impressive record. Anytime Jasper gets knocked down a notch it's a good thing.
