Multiple sources tell FootballScoop that Ezell is being pursued by new Wake Forest coach Jake Dickert to run the Demon Deacons offense following Ezell's most recent work under Major Applewhite at South Alabama. Sources tell FootballScoop a deal is expected to be in place by the end of the day.

With Jake Dickert moving quickly to fill out his inaugural Wake Forest coaching staff, one of the most significant moves is the hiring of Rob Ezell as the program's offensive coordinator, as first reported by FootballScoop. With Ezell in the fold, Dickert & Co. now are filling out their offensive coaching tree, sources tell FootballScoop.

Just days before the Washington State football program was set to take the field for the DirecTV Holiday Bowl against Kyle McCord and the high-octane Syracuse Orange, head coach Jake Dickert announced he’d be leaving the program in order to take over as head coach at Wake Forest.
