Report: Nick Rolovich bringing Wyoming’s Jake Dickert to WSU as defensive coordinator

Nick Rolovich is turning to a familiar conference, the Mountain West, and an old foe, Wyoming, as he starts to build his defensive coaching staff at Washington State.

According to Adam Rittenberg of ESPN, Rolovich is bringing in Wyoming defensive coordinator Jake Dickert to fill the same position in Pullman and lead the turnaround for a unit that ranked 111th nationally in total defense. A source close to WSU indicated the hire of Dickert as DC hadn’t been finalized yet, but that Rolovich and the Cougars had targeted him to fill one of the most important positions on the staff.
