Head coach Julie Darty Dennis announced the addition of Michael Bouril as an assistant coach to the MSU Staff on February 12, 2025.

Bouril heads to Starkville after spending the past five seasons on staff at Purdue, including the past two as an assistant coach. The Boilermakers made the NCAA Tournament in each of those five years, extending its current NCAA Tournament appearance streak to nine, the program's longest streak. Purdue ended two of those seasons in the NCAA Regional Finals and earned a record of 113-41 during that time.

During his time at Purdue, Bouril's players have earned eight different AVCA and Volleyball Magazine honors. He has also accumulated 17 AVCA All-Region Honors, including 12 first team honors. Most recently, Raven Colvin and Eva Hudson earned AVCA All-American Honors, with Hudson being named the AVCA Midwest Region Player of the Year.

Statistically, Purdue hit .280 as a team last season, the third-best mark in program history. It ranked 15th in the nation and fourth in the Big Ten. The Boilermakers also ranked eighth in the nation in assists per set (13.29) and kills per set (14.26), while ranking ninth in blocks per set (2.80).
