He has also helped Denver tie a franchise record with 14 wins while also matching the club marks with eight home wins and six road wins that season.

Overseeing the Saints' strength and conditioning program, Dalrymple was instrumental in the team's success. During his 16-year stint in New Orleans, the Saints won 159 regular-season games (fourth most from 2006-21), seven division titles and made nine postseason appearances. The organization captured its first Super Bowl in the 2009 playoffs, defeating Indianapolis 31-17 in Super Bowl XLIV.

Dalrymple is regarded as one the NFL's best strength and conditioning coaches, with his routines being focused on building and maintaining strength and stamina while minimizing injuries. While in New Orleans, Dalrymple was named the NFL's Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year of two occasions, garnering the distinction in 2009 and 2018.

He performed both roles from 2003-05 before joining Head Coach Sean Payton, who he spent two years (1994-95) coaching with at Miami (Ohio), in New Orleans.

After taking over the supervision of the Miami (Ohio) strength and conditioning program in 1989, the football program posted a 114-64-5 record, had a streak of 12-straight winning seasons, and appeared in bowl games in 2003 and '04.

In his final collegiate season in 1986, Dalrymple was named a team captain and was a key contributor to the team that went 8-4 in the regular season and won the Mid-American Conference (MAC) Championship. He was later honored as 1-of-5 linemen on the Cincinnati Enquirer's All-20th Century Miami (Ohio) football team and was elected to the school's hall of fame in 2002.

After his college career and attending training camp with the Seattle Seahawks, Dalrymple returned to his alma mater as a student assistant coach in 1987. He served as a graduate assistant the following year (1988) before being promoted to offensive line and strength coach (1989).

Dalrymple has been certified by the National Strength & Conditioning Association since 1991 and has been honored as a finalist for the organization's Coach of the Year five times (1995, '97, '99, 2003, '06). Dalrymple became only the second NFL strength coach to receive professional Coach of the Year honors multiple times from the Professional Football Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association.
