The 2023 campaign would be a continuation of the 2022 season as the Wildcats would break the records for most wins in a season, best margin of victory and see the offense, defense and special teams all rank in the top 25 of most statistical categories. The end result was the first conference championship in school history. The Wildcats played in the 2023 NAIA playoffs for the first time in team history. Coach Maddox would be named AFCA Region 5 Coach of the Year, also Sooner Athletic Conference Coach of the Year. As well as VSN national Coach of the Year.
The 2022 campaign was the first winning season in eight years for the Wildcats football program. Since Coach Maddox arrived, the team has beaten three top-25 teams compared to only one before his arrival. He has mentored a pair of NAIA All-Americans since returning to campus, led the Cats' to a perfect home record in 2022, and defeated East Texas Baptist for the first time since 2015 during the 2021 season. Coach Maddox would be named Sooner Athletic Conference Coach of the Year 2022.
Prior to joining the staff, the last two seasons, Maddox served as the head coach at Glenbrook High School in Minden, La. where he took over a team on the verge of being shut down and in two seasons guided the Apaches to a 6-4 record in 2019, their first winning season in six years, while making the playoffs both seasons of his tenure. For his efforts in 2019, he was named the Webster Parish Coach of the Year.
After five years in the U.S. Army, Maddox came to Louisiana College as a student in 2013 and joined the Wildcats football program as a walk-on. He appeared in 13 games over his two seasons in the orange and blue, and the team amassed a 13-7 record while he was a LC student-athlete. Maddox graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in history and a minor in physical education in 2015.
Immediately upon receiving his degree, Maddox joined Coach Dennis Dunn's staff as an assistant coach at LCU, focused on linemen of both sides of the line of scrimmage and aided with special teams and was key in recruiting. In three short seasons, he was elevated to defensive coordinator for the 2017 and 2018 seasons, where his defense was in the top 25 of NCAA Division III in turnovers forced. His defenses also accumulated 75 tackles for loss.
Maddox is married to his wife, Caitlyn, who is a teacher, and they have two children together, Allianna and Gabriel.
