A graduate of Regents School of Austin, a nationally recognized classical Christian school with a highly successful football program, Coach Phillips played under Texas TAPPS coaching legend Beck Bryden. His deep understanding of the student-athlete experience in a robust academic environment uniquely equips him to lead our football program with both excellence and integrity.

Coach Phillips received his undergraduate degree in Communication, Public Relations, and New Media from Baylor University and a master’s degree in Leadership & Organizational Behavior from Austin Peay State University. His coaching journey includes time at Howard Payne University and four years at the Division I level, coaching at Austin Peay University, the University of Hawaii, and the University of Colorado before returning to Austin to begin his high school coaching career.

Joey feels called to mentor young men and to motivate players through exceptional coaching and high expectations on the field. His passion for teaching the game of football, his heart for Christ, and his spiritual maturity are clearly evident. He brings an authentic, relentless energy, a drive for excellence, and a deep love for the Lord.
