Kuharich coached at Temple, Illinois State and California in the late 1970s early 80s before becoming offensive coordinator of the San Antonio Gunslingers in 1983.
Both he and GM Joe Kapp worked to acquire big-name players, including Doug Flutie, Major Harris, and Mark Gastineau.
However, just days before their first game against Rhein, Kuharich was dismissed and replaced by former Boise State head coach Jim Criner.
He coached the af2's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers to a 6–10 record in the team's first season before leaving to serve as the offensive coordinator of the New York Dragons.
He held the same position with the Arizona Rattlers from 2005 to 2006 before becoming the Nashville Kats offensive coordinator in September of the 2007 Arena Football League season.
