Being an interim head coach of a football team is a thankless job. It usually happens in the middle of a season and leaves hundreds of players, coaches and staff members searching for a direction. It’s not an easy position to be in... Especially for Jake Dickert.
The former WSU defensive coordinator is stepping into an unenviable position for a football coach. He’s taking over for a team that isn’t just down a head coach, after Nick Rolovich’s firing earlier this week, it’s a team that’s also down four assistant coaches and has a locker room filled with players who, by many accounts, wanted to fight for their departed head man.
