Washington State is hiring Jimmy Rogers of South Dakota State as its new head coach, according to multiple reports on Saturday.
Rogers reportedly accepted a five-year deal, according to ESPN.
Rogers, 37, is 27-3 in two seasons as head coach of FCS program South Dakota State. He guided the Jackrabbits to a 15-0 record and the 2023 national championship and went 12-3 in 2024.
Rogers will replace Jake Dickert, who recently departed Washington State to take over the Wake Forest program.
Rogers played linebacker for South Dakota State from 2006-09 and has spent 13 of his 15 seasons in the coaching profession at the school. He became head coach after the 2022 season when John Stiegelmeier retired after leading the team to the FCS title.
Washington State went 8-5 this season and lost 52-35 to Syracuse in the Holiday Bowl on Friday night. It was the Cougars’ fourth straight loss following an 8-1 start.
Star quarterback John Mateer entered the transfer portal after the regular season and will play for Oklahoma next season.
