Overview
- The university announced Thursday that Jake Dickert signed a long-term extension but did not disclose the contract’s length or salary.
- Multiple reports say the agreement includes increased program resources and larger staff and roster salary pools though those commitments have not been formally detailed by the school.
- Dickert has a 17-5 record at Wake Forest and is guiding an 8-1 team that sits just outside the 12-team CFP field as it heads into road games that will shape ACC and playoff chances.
- Athletic director John Currie framed the extension as a step to end outside coaching speculation and remove Wake Forest from the offseason job market conversation.
- Wake Forest, the smallest Power Four undergraduate campus, is betting continuity and added investment will help keep assistants, bolster recruiting, and sustain the offensive momentum led by quarterback Gio Lopez and coordinator Rob Ezell.
