Dean arrives following a two-season stint at Louisburg College, a junior college in North Carolina. There, he served as linebackers and strength and conditioning coach. Signature highlights included being part of one of the top-ranked defenses in non-scholarship junior college football, setting the National Junior College Athletic Association sack record, and developing a junior college All-American.

At Georgia, Dean was a recruiting and player personnel analyst on the Bulldogs’ 2022 national championship staff. He created and implemented comparison analysis reports to enhance recruiting tactics and was responsible for identifying potential targets in the transfer portal. Dean’s coaching career started at Iowa Wesleyan University, where he coached running backs.
