Robert L. "Mickey" Joseph[1] (born March 5, 1968) is an American college football coach and former player.

The native of Marrero, Louisiana, who attended Archbishop Shaw High School started off his career as a capable backup playing behind starters Steve Taylor and Gerry Gdowski for his freshman and sophomore years.

With 2:38 left in the third quarter of this contest, Joseph connected with his tight end Johnnie Mitchell on a 48-yard touchdown pass to give the Huskers a 12–0 lead.

24 nationally after a loss in the Florida Citrus Bowl to co-national champion Georgia Tech, 45–21, on January 1, 1991.

He also ran a tailback predicated option offense that included three I-backs—Leodis Flowers, Scott Baldwin, and Derek Brown—that combined for nearly 2,000 rushing yards.

[8] Joseph's most productive offensive performance in a single game came on October 13, 1990, in a 69–21 win over Missouri when he accounted for five touchdowns.

He fell down the depth chart after returning from the leg injury for his senior season as Keithen McCant became the Huskers' starting quarterback.

[10] Due to his leg injury at Nebraska, Joseph had to forgo playing quarterback for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League where, at 5-foot-10 inches tall and mobile, his skillset would have been suited for the position.

Joseph returned to his alma mater, Archbishop Shaw High School, in 1998 as quarterbacks coach.

In 2005, Joseph left college football and took a job in his hometown of New Orleans as a coach, seventh-grade history and gym teacher at Desire Street Academy.

Then in late August 2005, Joseph's school suffered badly from the flooding and other damage caused by Hurricane Katrina forcing Desire Street Academy to relocate some four hours east of New Orleans to a 4-H camp which is located along the Choctawhatchee Bay in Florida.

[13] It was then that Joseph took on a surrogate fatherlike role as he was able to round up 75 of his students from Louisiana and relocate them to the 4-H camp in Florida.

This program known as "Florida 4-H Youth Development" was led by former Heisman Trophy winner and Washington Redskins' quarterback, Danny Wuerffel.

In 2013, Joseph was the assistant head coach/wide receivers coach and special teams coordinator at Alcorn State.

Four days later, on November 30, Joseph was placed on administrative leave by Athletic Director Trev Alberts following his arrest for domestic violence.

[22] Vance was hired as head coach of the Denver Broncos on January 11, 2017, after signing a four-year contract.

[24] Joseph is accused of having pushed his wife, pulled her hair, grabbed her by the throat, and then striking her in the face.
