After he graduated from Mississippi College, in 1978 Hurt began his coaching career.

After the Fire folded, Hurt accepted an assistant coaching position at Nicholls State before quickly resigning to take the defensive coordinator position at Samford under former Fire head coach Chan Gailey.[2]

After a single season as defensive coordinator, Hurt was promoted to head coach for the 1994 season after Gailey left to take an assistant coaching position in the NFL.[3] He was later fired midseason during the 2001 campaign after a 1–4 start.[4] During his eight seasons with the Bulldogs, Hurt led Samford to an overall record of 42 wins, 39 losses and one tie (42–39–1).[5]

From Samford, Hurt returned to serve as head coach at Clinton High School for three years before he became the offensive line coach at Air Force.[6] After two years with the Falcons, Hunt returned to Mississippi to serve as head coach at Center Hill High School from 2007 through 2010 when he resigned to serve as head coach at Northwest Rankin High School.[7] In December 2013 Hurt resigned from Northwest Rankin High School position of Head Coach and Athletic Director after two losing seasons.
