Between his two tenures at Saint Mary, Hinson was head football coach at McMurry University in Abilene, Texas, from 2014 to 2018.

Hinson had been with the program since 2002 when he joined the squad as an assistant coach.

[8] Hinson's teams tend to be stronger on defense rather than offense, and this has become a part of his coaching strategy. [9]

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. [11]

[13] Hinson resigned after the conclusion of the 2018 season, having helped guide the program from NCAA Division II to NCAA Division III. His career at McMurray was 12 wins and 35 losses. [14]
After a year as Assistant Athletic Director at Saint Mary's, Hinson once again took the position as head coach after the 2019 season was concluded. [13]
