Joe Houston, former special teams coach for the New England Patriots, is set to join the University of Florida's football staff after spending four seasons with the Patriots. Houston, who has a history as a kicker for the University of Southern California and was quite successful during his coaching stint at Iowa State, is expected to bring his special teams expertise to the Gators. This move, initially reported by Jacob Rudner, comes as Florida's head coach Billy Napier, who desperately needed to bolster his staff, seeks to improve the Gators' woeful special teams.
