When Jake Dickert was hired as Wake Forest’s new football coach, expectations weren’t high for the Demon Deacons in 2025, but they’ve proved doubters wrong, as they are 4-2, and are a few plays away from having a ranked win over Georgia Tech and being undefeated overall. A big reason why is their head coach, who has proven to be one of the best hires of the coaching carousel last off-season, and is poised to return the program to the top half of the ACC quicker than expected.

Earlier this morning on WFNZ, Jake Dickert joined the Mac & Bone Show, to talk about the start of the 2025 season, as he talks about his experience so far in Winston-Salem, he tells you if he feels like the rebuild is ahead of schedule, what has allowed his team to be competitive right away, and more.

You can listen to the Mac & Bone Show, (Charlotte’s #1 morning show), every weekday morning from 6-10 AM, on Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ, and the WFNZ app.
