Wake Forest head coach Jake Dickert has agreed to a new contract, which includes an extension, the school announced Thursday.
The new deal also includes an uptick in resources and staff investment, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel.
"We are excited about the future of Wake Forest Football and taking our program to new heights," Dickert said in a statement. "Our players are proud to represent Wake Forest and embody what Built in the Dark is all about. We are just getting started."
Dickert has led the Demon Deacons to a 17-5 record in two seasons. Wake Forest is currently 8-1 and No. 13 in the College Football Playoff rankings, having won six straight. The Demon Deacons have done it with offense, ranking ninth in the FBS in total offense at 487.7 yards per game.
The 17 victories over a two-year span are already the third most in program history. Additionally, Dickert's 9-4 campaign last season was the winningest first year by a head coach in Wake Forest history.
"Wake Forest University is committed to football success at the highest level and Coach Dickert has done an extraordinary job of inspiring belief among our players, fans and the entire Demon Deacon community," Wake Forest athletic director John Currie said in a statement.
Dickert's success had made him a popular name to throw around for other job openings in the annual coaching carousel. Currie said in a statement that "now was the time to go ahead and eliminate any outside speculation" about Dickert's future.
Wake Forest travels to play at SMU on Saturday.
