Bill Whitton
William G. Whitton (February 8, 1919 – November 1, 2007) 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. His time at Holy Cross was hampered by a rampant "mini-plague" that forced the cancellation of most of the 1969 season.
