Just before one of the biggest games in program history, the Deacs have gotten some huge news—Head Coach Jake Dickert has agreed to a new contract that will keep him at Wake Forest for the foreseeable future, per Pete Thamel.
As with all Wake Forest contracts, the details of this one will probably never see the light
of day. Based on what Thamel is reporting, though, the contract likely comes with a promise to drastically increase NIL spending and give Dickert the resources and investment he needs to sustain success at Wake Forest.
In just his 2nd season at Wake Forest, Dickert has already proven himself with a 17-5 overall record and a 9-5 ACC record. He finished last season with a win over Mississippi State in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl and has the Deacs currently in contention for a playoff spot this season. Winning at that level at Wake Forest is always seen as an impressive feat, so there were already plenty of rumors of teams being interested in hiring him at the end of the season—locking Dickert down before the coaching carousel starts is fantastic news for Wake Forest.
The future of Wake Forest football could not be higher right now!
Go Deacs!
