Playing career

Hinson coached college football for three years at the University of North Texas.[1]

Coaching career

Assistant coaching

Hinson worked at several schools as an undergraduate/graduate coaching assistant and later as an assistant coach. While an assistant coach at Baker University his team completed a 9–2 season, recorded a victory in the KWTO Bowl and finished ranked #15 in the nation among NAIA schools.[2]

University of Saint Mary

Hinson was the head football coach for the Saint Mary Spires[3] located in Leavenworth, Kansas[4] and has held that position since 2005. Hinson is the third person to take the post, and his overall coaching record at Saint Mary's is 36 wins, 56 losses, and 0 ties.[5] Hinson was named to the post after the sudden resignation of Scott Frear[6]

Hinson had been with the program since 2002 when he joined the squad as an assistant coach. Although his teams have not produced stellar performances, each and every year his squad performs above the expectations of peers and sportswriters[7] and this success has helped the school to build a new football/soccer complex,[8] allowing football to be played on campus for the first time in the school's history.[9] Hinson's teams tend to be stronger on defense rather than offense, and this has become a part of his coaching strategy.[10]

In 2005, Hinson was named Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference "Co-Coach" of the year along with then Tabor coach Mike Gardner.[11]

In 2009, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics selected Hinson as head coach for the College Fanz Senior Classic, an NAIA post-season game to highlight senior players across the country.[12]

McMurry

In 2014, Hinson was named the head coach at McMurry University in Abilene, Texas.[13]
