  "account": "Tennessee football's linebackers coach William Inge will not participate in the Vols' upcoming game against Texas due to medical reasons. The University of Tennessee announced Inge's absence from the Sept. 26 matchup at Neyland Stadium, where the No. 13 Vols (3-0) face off against the No. 1 Longhorns (3-0) at noon ET on ABC. Inge, 52, had previously missed Tennessee's September 19 win over Kennesaw State. Coaches Josh Sinagoga, a former Michigan assistant who worked with the 2023 national champions, and others are stepping in to fill the coaching void left by Inge. Inge is in his third season under head coach Josh Heupel, who has built a coaching career spanning 28 years, beginning at Iowa. Inge also served as co-defensive coordinator/linebackers coach at Washington during their 2023 CFP national title run. He previously coached at Tennessee from 2024-25, when defensive coordinator Tim Banks was dismissed in December. When Jim Knowles took over as defensive coordinator, he retained Inge as his linebackers coach due to the strong culture Inge had fostered among the linebackers. Inge's son, Isaiah, played as a walk-on defensive lineman for the Vols during the 2024-25 season.",
