Wake Forest has signed Head Football Coach Jake Dickert to a long-term contract extension, the university announced on Thursday, Nov. 12. The announcement comes amid one of the most successful football seasons in the program’s history, with Wake Forest sitting at 8-1 and in solo second place in the ACC standings. The No. 13 Demon Deacons are on a six-game winning streak and have outscored opponents by a combined score of 264-31 in the last five contests. They now sit on the precipice of a truly incredible finish with three games remaining and a serious chance at securing spots in both the final ACC Championship and the College Football Playoff. With such success, there have been serious conversations in college football circles regarding Dickert’s future in Winston-Salem.
