Jake Dickert introduced as Wake Forest's new football coach focusing on stability

Jake Dickert was introduced as Wake Forest's new football coach on Thursday, emphasizing his commitment to building player relationships. He replaces Dave Clawson, who resigned after 11 seasons and a 67-69 record. Dickert, previously at Washington State, noted the importance of stability at Wake Forest amid a turbulent college football landscape. He aims to retain the current team, which has faced challenges with back-to-back 4-8 seasons. Wake Forest has had only two coaching changes this century, highlighting its stability compared to other programs. Dickert's appointment comes as Washington State navigates changes after the Pac-12's dissolution.
