In February 1949, Fonde was hired as the head football coach at Ann Arbor High School (renamed Ann Arbor Pioneer High School during his tenure as head coach). In his first eight seasons as the school's head coach, he compiled a record of 59–2–2 and developed a reputation as one of the best coaches in the state. He remained head coach at Pioneer through the 1958 season. During his tenure, Fonde's teams had seven undefeated seasons, had a 40-game winning streak, and compiled an overall record of 69–6–4. While coaching at Ann Arbor High, Fonde also received a master's degree in education from the University of Michigan in 1956.
In January 1959, Fonde was hired as the backfield coach for the University of Michigan football team under head coach Bump Elliott. Fonde was an assistant coach at Michigan for 10 years from 1959 to 1968. In 1968, Elliott expanded Fonde's responsibility, giving him "command of the overall defense, while specializing with the defensive backs." During his 10 years at Michigan, he was the position coach for Michigan's backs, including Bennie McRae, Dennis Fitzgerald, Dave Raimey, Mel Anthony, Carl Ward, Bob Timberlake, Jim Detwiler, and Tom Curtis.
Fonde was not retained on the coaching staff when Bo Schembechler took over as head coach. In January 1969, Fonde was given a new position as director of academic counseling and recruiting coordinator. He resigned in June 1970 to accept a position with an Ann Arbor insurance firm.
