ESPN is reporting that Wake Forest has hired Washington State’s Jake Dickert to be the school’s new head football coach.
The 41-year-old Dickert was in his third full season at Washington State and guided the Cougars to an 8-4 record this year and a spot in the Holiday Bowl. He took over midway through the 2021 season after Nick Rolovich was fired by the university for declining to take the COVID vaccine, and was promoted to permanent head coach following the regular season.
