5. Jake Dickert - Washington State Head Coach
If West Virginia strikes out on their primary targets, there is at least cursory interest in Washington State’s Jake Dickert. The Cougars had an outstanding season before a late-season swoon, but their offense was fun. Dickert spent a lot of time at North Dakota State and Wyoming and learned under Craig Bohl. There are no apparent connections to the Morgantown area. Still, the Cougars went 8-4 and throttled Arizona State, Arizona, and Washington by a combined 64 points despite not belonging to a major conference this season. Names like Jimbo Fisher and Nick Saban were floated as dream candidates, but both have been shot down as “absolutely not happening,” according to sources connected to both.
