Wake Forest is hiring Washington State coach Jake Dickert to fill the vacancy left by Dave Clawson’s resignation, multiple outlets reported on Wednesday.
Dickert, 41, is 23-20 with the Cougars since taking over midway through the 2021 season. That includes an 8-4 record this season heading into the Dec. 27 Holiday Bowl against Syracuse.
Clawson, 57, stepped down on Monday after 11 seasons and seven bowl berths with the Demon Deacons, who finished 4-8 for the second straight year in 2024.
Dickert was elevated from defensive coordinator to interim coach at Washington State in October 2021 after head coach Nick Rolovich was fired for refusing to comply with the state’s COVID-19 vaccination mandate.
The Cougars went 3-3 under his leadership in 2021 and lost to Central Michigan in the Sun Bowl. They were 7-6 in 2022 and lost to Fresno State in the LA Bowl before slipping to 5-7 in 2023.
