New coach Jake Dickert embraces Wake Forest’s stability

Hindustan Times  

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Much of Jake Dickert’s new job as Wake Forest coach looks different from his time at Washington State, but he says he arrives with the same principles that have helped him so far. “One of the first things that really drew me to Wake Forest is stability,” Dickert said. “In kind of a chaotic, turbulent college football scene, stability here at Wake Forest was vitally important.” Stability has been a characteristic in the Wake Forest football office, with Clawson following Jim Grobe. Wake Forest has finished with back-to-back 4-8 records, though the Demon Deacons produced an 11-win season in 2021 when they reached the ACC championship game.
