He then moved to the collegiate ranks as an assistant at West Texas State in 1980-1981, before serving as offensive coordinator at Texas-El Paso for four years (1982-85).

Mulerider Football History Southern Arkansas has had a football program since 1911, but will have to wait until the 2017 season to truly commemorate 100 years of Mulerider football. SAU didn t field a team from 1937-1939 and 1942-1945, a total of seven years, making 2012 the 95th football season. SAU was founded in 1909 as the Third District Agricultural School, with G.R. Turrentine serving as the inaugural head coach in 1911. The team played only two games that first year, losing both in Magnolia by shutouts, 19-0 to Texarkana (Texas) High School and 9-0 to Camden High School. The team was commonly called the Magnolia Aggies until the early 1920 s, but Turrentine, who went on to coach for a total of seven years, is credited with providing the moniker of Muleriders following the team s final game of the 1912 season, a Thanksgiving date at Fordyce High School. A few days after that game, members of the team rode mules to Coach Turrentine s home to discuss their final game and he greeted them with My Mule Riders. That was the first known time the term was used, and the name eventually stuck, changing from two words to the compound Muleriders. SAU is now 437-415-30 in its 95th year of football since the first season of play in 1911, and is currently 9-6 all-time in Great American Conference games and 203-199-11 against teams currently in the GAC. The Series (1-0, McMurry) Saturday s inaugural NCAA Division II C.H.A.M.P.S. Heart of Texas Bowl will be only the second meeting between Southern Arkansas and McMurry, coming 56 years after their only previous engagement in 1956. The Muleriders traveled to Abiliene, Texas, for their next to last game of that season, dropping a 20-13 decision to the War Hawks.

Before taking over the reins at Texarkana, Keopple was at the University of Tulsa in 2002 on former Arkansas defensive coordinator Keith Burns staff. He spent that season coaching the defensive line and serving as recruiting coordinator for the Golden Hurricane. Keopple served as an assistant under Houston Nutt at Arkansas in 1998 and 1999, and was with Nutt at Boise State in 1997, coaching the defensive line at both schools. The Razorbacks were 1998 SEC Western Division champions, finishing 9-3 and playing Michigan in the Citrus Bowl. Arkansas had the fifth-ranked rushing defense in the nation that season and was ranked seventh in total defense.
