William G. Whitton (February 8, 1919 – November 1, 2007)[1] was an American football player and coach. He served as the head football coach at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts from 1969 to 1970, compiling a record of 0–12–1.[2] His time at Holy Cross was hampered by a rampant "mini-plague" that forced the cancellation of most of the 1969 season.[3]
Whitton was born in Lanark, Scotland and grew up in Tarrytown, New York. A longtime resident of Plainfield, New Jersey, he died at the age of 88, on November 1, 2007, at Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center in Plainfield.[4]
