Biography

This past season, Coach Joseph led Katy to a perfect 16-0 record, winning the Texas’ Class 6A Division II title, which was the school’s fourth state title under Joseph, who has been the Tigers head coach since 2004.

The Tigers finished #3 in the High School Football America/NHSCA National Top 25 and were named “mythical” national champs by MaxPreps.com, NationalHSFootball.com and PrepNation.com.

Joseph, who has taken his school to eight overall Texas state championship games, began as an assistant with Katy more than 30 years ago and currently owns a lifetime record is 168-14. He’s led Katy to eleven district titles in twelve years as head coach and the Tigers haven’t lost a district game since 2008.
