This includes the first winless season in school history, when Dimel led the team to a dismal 0–11 record.
In 2004, Dimel was a graduate assistant at Kansas State, his alma mater. He had previously been an assistant there from 1987 to 1996. In 2006, Dimel became the tight ends coach at the University of Arizona. In October 2006, he took over as running game coordinator for the team as well. After his promotion, the Wildcats beat three top 25 teams.
