Washington State Loses Football Coach To Wake Forest

(Associated Press) – Wake Forest has agreed to a deal with Washington State’s Jake Dickert to become the Demon Deacons’ next football coach.

That’s according to a person familiar with the decision.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the school hasn’t spoken publicly yet about its coaching search.

Dickert is set to replace Dave Clawson, who resigned unexpectedly Monday after 11 seasons.

Dickert has guided the Cougars to 20 wins in three full seasons since taking over that program.
