Joe Houston aiming to turn around Florida’s special teams unit

Florida hired Special Teams Analyst Joe Houston this offseason in an effort to turn around the Gators’ special teams unit, which has suffered from concerning communication errors under Head Coach Billy Napier. While Florida felt like their specialists were good, they wanted to add another layer in Houston to help clean up some of the organizational issues within the unit.

With the new NCAA rule allowing analysts to provide technical and tactical instruction to their players on game day, there should be a more clear and concise line of communication on Saturday’s.

“It changes the dynamic of in-game communication,” Houston said on the rule change.
