After four years of playing college football and then another eight seasons moving up the assistant coaching ranks, Demeitre Brim is ready to crack the pros as the newest member of the Cowboys staff.
Brim is expected to be hired by Dallas as an assistant defensive line coach, per a Saturday report from Matt Zenith of CBS Sports. He’ll serve in that capacity- his first foray in the NFL- under newly-hired defensive line coach Marcus Dixon and defensive coordinator Christian Parker.
Bryan Bing was the Cowboys’ assistant DL coach for the 2025 season, his first with the team after following Matt Eberflus from Chicago. Bing’s future is not immediately known.
Brim began his coaching career at Nebraska as a graduate assistant in 2018 working with the Cornhuskers’ inside linebackers. He moved up to a defensive analyst role and then, by 2022, a defensive quality control position.
From Lincoln, he went next to Lehigh of the FCS. Under Brim as DL coach for the 2023 and 2024 seasons, the conference-champion Mountain Hawks ranked second in the Patriot league in sacks; 15 of their 21 came from the defensive front.
The 2025 season brought Brim to Central Florida as a defensive analyst. That stop in Orlando was a full-circle moment for Brim. He had finished his college playing career with 22 games at linebacker for the Knights over his junior and senior seasons (and was the squad’s Defensive MVP in 2016) after initially playing two years at Virginia.
And now he’ll have a chance to make an impact at the highest level of the game as the newest member of the Cowboys staff, working with notable names like Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark, Solomon Thomas, Osa Odighizuwa, and Donovan Ezeiruaku.
