Wake Forest football coaching search 2024: Candidates, hot board, names to watch by Demon Deacons experts

The 2024-25 college football coaching carousel appeared to stop spinning last week, but a new Power Four job opened on Monday, Dec. 16 when Dave Clawson resigned as head coach at Wake Forest. He departs after 11 seasons with a 67-69 record and seven bowl appearances. Clawson’s time, which included an 11-win season in 2021, was largely considered a success for a Wake Forest football program that historically has lacked much gridiron prowess. Back-to-back 4-8 seasons, however, in 2023 and 2024 put a damper on his tenure. 

Now, the Wake Forest football coaching search moves forward as athletic director John Currie will search for a coach who can build on Clawson’s work. The Wake Forest football coaching hot board will likely include intriguing Group of Five head coaches, top Power Four coordinators and others.
