Adam Schefter reports that Joe Whitt Jr. was promoted to secondary coach of the Packers. He takes over for Kurt Schottenheimer. Don't have the link for it in writing yet, but it was reported (NFLN).

Interesting, considering no new DC has been officially hired.

I'm leaning towards Moss more so than Nolan now after hearing this.

A little bit of info on Whitt Jr. courtesy Packers.com coaches bio:

... the 30-year-old Whitt comes to Green Bay after one year with the Atlanta Falcons as assistant defensive backs coach. He coached the previous five years in the college ranks, beginning with the 2002 season as wide receivers coach at The Citadel, followed by a four-year stint as cornerbacks coach and recruiting coordinator at Louisville.

(As a defensive quality control assistant) Whitt's duties include breaking down opponent game film and analyzing their offensive tendencies. He also provides assistance with the defensive backs and special teams.

Last season in Atlanta, Whitt worked alongside veteran coach and former Packers defensive coordinator Emmitt Thomas in tutoring the Falcons' defensive backs.

Now that just doesn't make any sense. We don't even have a DC yet.

Or Adam Schefter finally decided to suck. I don't know.

Whitt Jr. survives coaching cuts in Green Bay

Although most of the Packers defensive staff was fired Monday, Joe Whitt Jr., who was the defensive quality control coach, was promoted to secondary coach.

If he's really responsible for how the secondary played this year, it makes sense he was promoted. It also makes a whole lot more sense that Shottenheimer was fired in that case.

I think the only thing that makes sense is that we already do have a new DC, and that he's OK'ed Whitt for the job.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing
