Zac Jackson reports that the Browns plan to add former Packers defensive passing-game coordinator Joe Whitt Jr to their defensive staff.
The Browns have hired a number of former Packers’ coaches and executive since they brought in John Dorsey as their GM, so shouldn’t come as a big surprise.
Whitt, 40, began his coaching career at Auburn back in 2000 as an assistant-receivers coach. From there, he worked for the Citadel and Louisville before taking his first NFL coaching job with the Falcons in 2007.
After one season in Atlanta, the Packers hired Whitt as their defensive quality control coach for the 2008 season before promoting him to cornerbacks coach in 2009. He eventually worked his way up to defensive passing-game coordinator last year.
However, the Packers elected to part ways with Whitt shortly after they hired Matt LaFleur as their new head coach.
