Joseph is now the second Longhorns assistant to leave for the NFL alongside running backs coach Tashard Choice, who left to accept a job with the Detroit Lions. The Longhorns also lost safeties Blake Gideon, who accepted a job as the Georgia Tech defensive coordinator.

On Monday, the Longhorns lost another key assistant on the defensive side of the ball. Rivals' Anwar Richardson reported that Texas' defensive passing game coordinator and secondary coach Terry Joseph will join the New Orleans Saints coaching staff.
