GREEN BAY — Apparently, Alvis Whitted didn’t do enough with the wide receivers of limited renown he was given.
Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur fired Whitted as receivers coach Thursday after one season, a year that saw the team’s receiving corps do very little beyond top-of-the-depth-chart, three-time Pro Bowl wideout Davante Adams.
Whitted is the first assistant coach LaFleur has fired from the staff he assembled last offseason.
“We want to thank Alvis for all that he contributed to our success this season,” LaFleur said in a news release. “He’s a great man and we wish nothing but the best for him, his wife Tracy and the rest of their family moving forward.
