  "account": "Florida State is seeking a new head coach, and David Pollack believes they should target a coach from within the ACC. On his podcast \"See Ball Get Ball,\" Pollack expressed his admiration for Wake Forest head coach Jake Dickert. He praised Dickert's approach to the game, his experience, and his success in the conference. Dickert has led Wake Forest to a 15-5 record over the last two seasons in the ACC, including a 9-4 record in 2025. This year, Wake Forest is currently 7-1, with five wins coming in the ACC. Their only loss this season was against undefeated Miami. After that game, Wake Forest went on to win its next five matches, including a 51-7 victory over Virginia. Dickert joined Wake Forest last year after a four-season stint as head coach at Washington State. He led the Demon Deacons to a 9-4 record in 2025, the most wins since 2021. Pollack believes that if Florida State is making a decision, they should consider Dickert first.",
