Grambling State University Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics, Dr. Trayvean D. Scott, announced a two-year contract extension for head football coach Mickey Joseph.

Joseph, who was named head coach in 2024, signed a two-year extension that runs through the 2027 season. He also has option years in 2028 and 2029.

“This decision reflects our belief in the future of Grambling State football. We are committed to building a program defined by discipline, development, and championships,” said Scott. “Coach Joseph’s leadership continues to move us forward, and we are confident that the foundation being laid today will position us for sustained success in the years ahead.”

In his second season at the helm, Joseph led the Tigers to a 7-5 record last year. It was GSU’s first winning season since 2019. It was also Grambling State’s highest single season win total since 2017.

“I want to sincerely thank our administration, our players, and Tiger Nation for their continued trust and support,” said Joseph. “It means a great deal to lead this program. We are working every day to build something special for the future, and I am grateful for the opportunity to continue serving this university and these young men.”
