In 2019, the Black Bears recorded over 5,000 yards of offense and set a school record with 3,558 passing yards and 29 passing touchdowns while Dresner oversaw the offense.
   
Dresner’s leadership was on full display when he was tabbed Maine’s interim head coach in December 2021. During that time, the Black Bears were able bring in a high-level early signing class and retain key pieces of their roster prior to the 2022 campaign.
 
During his time at Maine, Dresner aided in the development of four student-athletes who went on to sign professional contracts in the NFL and CFL. Earnest Edwards (Rams), Andre Miller (Giants), Zavier Scott (Colts), and Liam Dobson (Blue Bombers) shined under Dresner’s guidance as he helped them prepare for the next level.
 
In 2022, Maine ranked second in the country in red zone offense (29/30 with 26 touchdowns), fourth in fewest interceptions thrown (six INTs on 368 passes thrown), and fifth in fewest turnovers (nine in 739 total plays). In CAA play, the Black Bears were first in the conference in red zone offense, third down offense, and fewest turnovers, and they ranked third in rushing offense (175.4 yards per game). Over the 2021 and 2022 seasons, no FCS team lost fewer turnovers (19) than Maine. 
 
While at Maine, Dresner coached 16 All-CAA Football selections, nine of which came over the past two seasons. One of those 16 all-league players was quarterback Joe Fagnano, who was an All-Conference selection in the spring 2021 season and in 27 games tallied 5,655 yards passing and 46 touchdown passes. On the ground, he accounted for 535 yards rushing and five touchdowns.
 
Before being promoted to offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach in January 2019, Dresner began his tenure at Maine as the wide receivers coach ahead of the historic 2018 campaign. In 2018, he helped lead Maine to a CAA Championship and FCS Final Four appearance.
 
Prior to his time in Orono, Dresner served as the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at Pace University from January 2017 until March 2018. At Pace, he helped guide the team to its best record in a decade as the team increased its points per game average by 50 percent. While in Pleasantville, he coached three All-Conference selections and the first 1,000-yard rusher in program history.
