He got his first head coaching job in 1998 at Belhaven College (now Belhaven University) where he spent two seasons and finished with a 4-6 record in his first year. In 1999, Joseph led the Blazers to a 7-4 record.

In 2004, Louisiana College named Joseph as its head coach. He would only stay for one season and led them to a 5-5 record.
