Joe Whitt Jr. (born 1978) is an American football coach. He was most recently the defensive pass game coordinator and cornerbacks coach of the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League (NFL). After the majority of the defensive coaching staff was fired after a disappointing 2008 season,[1] he was one of only two defensive coaches retained by the Packers. It was then officially announced by the Packers that he was promoted from defensive quality control to cornerbacks coach on February 3, 2009. Whitt Jr. also spent time with the Atlanta Falcons in 2007 as an Assistant Defensive Backs coach. Whitt attended Auburn High School, graduating in 1997, and was a walk-on wide receiver for the Auburn Tigers football team the following season before earning a scholarship. When an injury ended his playing career, Whitt became a student assistant at Auburn University. After completing a degree in communications in 2001, Whitt was hired as wide receivers coach at The Citadel before moving on to become cornerbacks coach and recruiting coordinator at the University of Louisville under head coach Bobby Petrino in 2003. In 2006, Whitt moved with Petrino to the Falcons.[2]
Joe Whitt Jr. is the son of Joe Whitt Sr., linebackers coach at Auburn University.[2][3]
