Episode description

Jeff Joseph is a rising star in the Texas High School Football Coaching Ranks. In just 2 short years as a head coach, he’s coached in every game possible at Port Neches-Groves. Back-to-Back State Championship Games and brought his Golden Triangle Community it’s first title in nearly 50 years! And even more impressive, took-out the defending champs of South Oak Cliff who were trying to complete the 3-Peat! Led by the biggest and baddest offensive line in the State on the 5A level…PNG’s Stars like Jackson Christian, Isaiah Nguyen, Connor Bailey, Shea Adams could really shine! Defense wins Championships and the Purple Wall was just too much for SOC. 

Jeff is making his own legacy from an enormous coaching family! He’s a 3rd Generation Coach with Hall of Fame Pedigree. His Dad, Gary Joseph, led the Katy Tigers to 8 appearances in the State Title Game and 4 State Championships. Jeff played in one of those title games at the Houston Astrodome where he learned about the football crazed community of PNG that would eventually lure him there for his first Head Coaching Job. Jeff’s Grandfather Eddie had a long successful coaching career at Wharton HS and became the Executive VP of the Texas High School Coaches Association. Jeff has been surrounded by coaching greatness in stops as an assistant at Katy, Katy Seven Lakes, Magnolia West, Austin Westlake, Southlake Carroll, and Texas A&M. Jeff has coached in 4 State Title Games and 3 NCAA Bowl Games. The famous Dodge family has an assist in his coaching development. Coaching Icon Todd Dodge was on the district’s selection committee and recommended Jeff who had no head coaching experience for the job and the rest is history! Jeff also coached under Todd’s son Riley Dodge at Southlake Carroll. It always seems like 7-degrees of separation from the Dodge Football Family. Jeff is 28-4 in 2 seasons with a Ring and was born to coach with a heart of tradition at Powerhouse PNG.
