Tennessee has officially announced the hire of two new assistant coaches that were previously reported earlier this week. Josh Heupel was tasked with filling two vacancies this month, with running backs coach Jerry Mack heading to Jacksonville and linebackers coach Brian Jean-Mary going back to Michigan.
Heupel and defensive coordinator Tim Banks tabbed William Inge to take over the linebacker spot this week. Inge comes over from Washington, where he served as the linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator during the Huskies’ run to the National Championship.
Tennessee reportedly swayed Inge to Knoxville over Alabama, where he was expected to join former Washington head coach Kalen DeBoer.
