[edit] Playing career
A native of Dallas, Texas, Whitten attended Justin F. Kimball High School. In 1982, he guided the school to a district championship. Whitten chose to attend Stephen F. Austin University, where he was a three-year starter in football and baseball in 1984-86.
Whitten earned All-Gulf Star Conference as quarterback for the Jacks. He ranks second in SFA career passing yards (6,304) and touchdown passes (60). He was drafted in baseball by the Philadelphia Phillies in 1983 and signed a free agent contract with the New England Patriots in 1987. He received his bachelor’s degree in education from Stephen F. Austin in 1987 and his master’s in education from Texas Tech in 1990. Whitten was inducted into the SFA Athletics Hall of Fame in 2001.
[edit] Coaching career
Following his one year stint with the Patriots, Whitten began his coaching career as a graduate assistant coach at Texas Tech, working with the quarterbacks during the 1988 and 1989 seasons. He then became quarterbacks coach at New Mexico State University under head coach Jim Hess. In 1994, Whitten was hired by Charlie Bailey to coach the offensive backfield at UTEP.
In 1996, Whitten got his first head coaching job as he took over at Tarleton State University. After a turn-around season that earned him Lone Star Conference Coach of the Year honors, Whitten left to become offensive coordinator for head coach Dana Dimel at the University of Wyoming. In 1999, he became offensive coordinator at Sam Houston State, before leaving again for Tarleton State.
Between 2000 and 2004, Whitten coached Tarleton State to a 40–18 overall record, including a Lone Star Conference championship in 2001. In 2005, he accepted an offer by Sam Houston State to succeed long time coach Ron Randleman. Whitten has since coached SHSU to a 16–16 record overall in three seasons.
