Yes, it actually is...

1. winning most often: the winningest coach in college basketball.
2. most winning or charming: the winningest smile in town.
[Origin: 1970–75; winning + -est]

Strange thing that Keith Burkinshaw is missing from this list but I guess those mediocre seasons in the late 70s put him just outside the list with a 38-39% winning percentage in the league.
