Dylan Burnett joined the Mean Green soccer staff prior to the 2021 season.

In his two seasons as an assistant coach, the Mean Green have won a combined 20 matches and have a .621 winning percentage.

Burnett has been instrumental in helping guide UNT to 11 all-conference honors including 2022 Conference USA Player of the Year Olivia Klein who led the league in goals scored that season.

In addition to his coaching, Burnett has helped recruit standout talent. In 2022, the Mean Green had three freshmen named to the league's all-freshman team honor and prior to the 2023 season the Mean Green had the No. 11 ranked incoming transfer class in the nation per Chris Henderson of the WoSo Independent.

Joining the Mean Green was somewhat of a return to North Texas for Burnett as he was hired as a volunteer assistant for UNT in 2020 but due to the postponement of the season those plans were put on hold.

Burnett took the opportunity to teach health and coach the girls soccer team at Denton's Braswell High School for the 2020-2021 school year. At Braswell, Burnett coached five 5-6A All District selections and the team improved their win total by three from the previous season.

Prior to coming to UNT, Burnett had plenty of experience coaching against the Mean Green. The 2014 Lincoln Memorial University alum was an assistant coach at UNT conference rival Southern Miss from 2017-18, which were two of the Golden Eagles' most successful seasons in program history. Burnett was responsible for helping recruit some of the most talented Dallas/ Fort Worth student-athletes to Hattiesburg. USM's 2018 C-USA Tournament finals appearance was the first time in program history they had reached the finals of a conference tournament.

The Golden Eagles saw three all-conference selections, three all-conference tournament selections and two all-south region selections for their 2018 effort.

Burnett also has head college coaching experience. He served the 2019 season as the head men's soccer coach at Mississippi University for Women where he led the program to its first appearance at the USCAA National Tournament and improved its previous win total by two. He was responsible for coaching three All-Academic Americans, two National Player of the Week accolades and two National Goalkeeper of the Week accolades.

Burnett earned his Bachelor's of Science Degree in Kinesiology with minors in health and strength and conditioning. Burnett also holds his Texas & Tennessee Practitioner Teaching license, a NSCAA National Diploma, USSF E License, NSCAA Level 1 Diploma, NSCAA Goalkeeping 2 diploma, a NSCAA Futsal Level 1 diploma, an Advanced National Diploma & is working on his Premier Diploma. He has his Master's of Science in Sports Coaching Education from Southern Miss.
