Mentors. Role models. Brothers in Christ.
Building character that lasts beyond the field.

Head Coach • Varsity

Tom Hurley

16 years coaching at Christ Prep.

“I coach to impact others for Christ. My desire is to influence young men’s lives in the same way my high school coach influenced mine, while helping them reach their God-given potential. Football ends someday, but character does not. Football is simply the vehicle. My hope is that every player leaves Christ Prep as a godly man of character who loves Christ, leads with integrity, serves others, and leads in his family, church, and community—understanding that who he becomes is far more important than what he accomplishes on the field.”

For Tom Hurley, Christ Prep Football has never been about wins and losses. It is about ministry. After 18 years of coaching, including 10 years as the varsity head coach, he uses football as a tool to teach faith, discipline, and leadership. His goal is to help shape young men into godly leaders.

Coach Hurley was drawn to coaching because of the lasting influence of his own high school coach, Laird Crump, who modeled truth and lived out the gospel during a formative season of his life. Years later, Hurley wanted his own sons and other young men to experience that same kind of godly mentorship.

At home, Tom and his wife Heidi have been married for 36 years and are blessed with nine children, ranging in age from 15 to 33, and eight grandchildren. As he often says, God has blessed them beyond measure.

Asked about his favorite play call, Hurley does not hesitate. Cover Zero Blitz reflects boldness, trust, and full commitment.
