In a surprising turn of events, Jake Dickert has been appointed the new head coach of Wake Forest football, leaving his position at Washington State. The move follows the resignation of longtime coach Dave Clawson, who stepped down after leading the Demon Deacons for 11 seasons and guiding them to seven bowl games. As Clawson transitions to an advisory role, Wake Forest has acted swiftly to secure Dickert, highlighting a period of uncertainty for both programs as they navigate this coaching upheaval. Washington State has announced Pete Kaligis as the acting head coach for the upcoming Holiday Bowl, while discussions about potential replacements for Dickert at WSU are already underway.
