An accomplished defensive backs coach at the Power 5 level along with Notre Dame, Terry Joseph was named defensive passing game coordinator and secondary coach at Texas on January 22, 2021.

In 2021, Joseph tutored honorable mention All-Big 12 honorees B.J. Foster and Anthony Cook, helping guide them to career years. Foster tallied a career-high three interceptions that ranked third in the conference, while also registering a career-high 47 tackles (26 solo). Cook recorded a career-best 46 tackles (27 solo), including three tackles for loss.  

Joseph arrived in Austin after spending three seasons in South Bend, the last two as defensive passing game coordinator and all three as defensive backs coach. During that time, he helped the Fighting Irish post a 33-5 record, earn two College Football Playoff appearances, a pair of No. 5 rankings in the final polls (2018 & 2020) and a No. 11 ranking in 2019.

 Joseph earned his bachelor’s degree in marketing/business administration from Northwestern State in 1996. He was a baseball standout at the school and is one of only 12 players in Southland Conference history to earn first-team all-conference honors three straight seasons. Joseph, who was named the 1995 Southland Conference and Louisiana Player of the Year, twice earned Academic All-America honors (1993, 1995). He helped the Demons capture three straight SLC championships and held 10 different school records when his collegiate career ended.

Joseph was a 13th-round Major League Baseball Draft choice of the Chicago Cubs and played four seasons in the minor leagues with the Cubs and San Diego Padres.

Joseph comes from a football coaching family as his cousin Vance Joseph is the defensive coordinator of the Arizona Cardinals, and another cousin, Mickey Joseph, is the wide receiver coach at LSU.

A native of New Orleans, Joseph’s family includes his wife, Amanda, and daughters Taylor and Lynleigh.
