Brewer, Cooper Hired As Assistant Coaches

DALLAS (SMU) – Jonathan Brewer and Kyle Cooper are returning to the Hilltop as assistant coaches, Head Coach Rhett Lashlee announced.

Brewer and Cooper both spent the 2020 and 2021 seasons at Miami under Lashlee, after spending two seasons with Lashlee at SMU (2018-19). Both served as senior offensive quality control analysts for the Hurricanes.

The duo was part of a record-setting offense in 2019 that helped the Mustangs to an historic season, going 10-3 winning the most games since 1984 and earning their highest national ranking since 1985 of No. 15/14. SMU set season records in scoring (544), scoring average (41.8), total yards (6,368), total yards per game (489.8), total plays (1,037), rushing TDS (35), total first downs (322) and total TDs (73), while tying the then-passing TDs record (35). The Mustangs finished in the top 15 of the national rankings in scoring offense (7th, 41.8), total offense (9th, 489.8) and passing offense (13th, 309.0). SMU hadn't cracked the top 25 in any of the three categories in 2018, finishing just outside the top 25 in passing offense at No. 27.

During their first season at Miami, the Hurricanes jumped to No. 32 in FBS in total offense (from No. 98), No. 29 in passing offense (from No. 52), No. 26 in scoring offense (from No. 90), No. 17 in red zone offense (from No. 122) and No. 20 in first downs gained (from No. 84). Miami finished second in the AAC Coastal standings in 2021 after a 7-5 regular season, and were in the top 25 for fourth down conversion % (10th, .714), passing offense (10th, 321.2), first down offense (14th, 293) and total offense (23rd, 448.8).

Brewer has also been part of Lashlee's staffs at UConn (2017) and Auburn (2013-16), serving in offensive analyst roles (2016-17) and as a graduate assistant with the Tigers' offensive line (2013-15). Prior to entering the collegiate ranks, Brewer served as an offensive coordinator and assistant at various high schools in Arkansas from 2005-12.

Brewer graduated from the Arkansas in 2010 and earned a master's degree in adult education from Auburn in 2014.

He is married to the former Danielle Stevens. The couple has three children, two sons, Wynton and Walter, and a daughter, Everlee Grace.

Cooper joined the Mustangs in 2018 after serving as a graduate assistant at UConn where he worked with the offense.

Prior to his time at UConn he was a graduate assistant coach for two years at Westminster College (New Wilmington, Pa.) working with the defensive line.

Cooper was a two-time team captain at Robert Morris and a two-year starting linebacker. The team won the 2010 Northeast Conference championship and earned a spot in the FCS playoffs. He is a 2013 graduate of Robert Morris with a degree in sport management and has a master's of business administration from the school as well. Cooper was named a Capital One Academic All-District pick as a senior and named to the NEC Fall Academic Honor Roll.
