PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — Washington State hired South Dakota State's Jimmy Rogers as its head football coach Saturday.
Rogers replaces Jake Dickert, who left to become Wake Forest’s head coach Dec. 18.
“Throughout the process, it was evident Jimmy embodies the qualities needed to lead our program: character, passion, vision and commitment," Washington State athletic director Anne McCoy said in a statement. “His coaching acumen is extremely high as is his work ethic, and the value he places on mentoring the young men in his program is evident.”
Rogers arrives in Pullman after two successful years as South Dakota State's head coach.
