OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – The Oklahoma Wildcatters announced their second head coach in team history in appointing Greg Rhodes to the role of leading the team, which hosts its annual homestand from July 31- August 2 at Paycom Center.

“I’m honored and excited to be named as the new head coach of the Oklahoma Wildcatters,” said Rhodes. “This is a tremendous opportunity, and I’m ready to get to work building a team our fans and the organization can be proud of.”

Rhodes has been a longtime head coach at Western Texas College in Snyder, Texas for over a quarter-century at 29 years after taking over the helm in 1997. His teams have appeared in 28 College National Finals Rodeos (CNFR) with the lone exception of not qualifying being 2020 when the event was not held.
