Mickey Joseph to be hired as next GSU football coach

Mickey Joseph is set to become the next head football coach at Grambling State University, sources told the Leader Sunday afternoon.

Joseph will be officially introduced Monday at 10 a.m., taking over the historic HBCU program after the firing of Hue Jackson on Nov. 28 after two seasons.

He even played quarterback at the Power Five level from 1988-91 at Nebraska before he went on to play in the CFL.
