Ingram's 1926 Navy team went 9–0–1 and was recognized as a national champion by the Boand System and the Houlgate System. Ingram was also known by the nickname "Navy Bill", due to his background at Annapolis.[1] He died in his sleep while serving as a Major in the Marine Corps.[2] He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 1973.
