Bobby Petrino. Missouri State University officially introduced Bobby Petrino as its new head football coach in a news conference at JQH Arena on January 16, 2020. Petrino has previously served as head coach in two stints at Louisville as well as Arkansas and Western Kentucky. He has compiled a 119-56 record in 14 seasons at the NCAA Division I FBS level and led his programs to 11 bowl appearances with seven teams ranked in the top 25 at season’s end. The Helena, Mont., native will begin his 32nd year of collegiate coaching. He has guided his programs to top-six final rankings in the Associated Press poll three times (2004, 2006, 2011), directing some of the nation's top offensive programs along the way. Steven McRoberts. Steven McRoberts was named Missouri State's head volleyball coach on Jan. 30, 2020. In 23 years as a collegiate head coach, including 15 at the Division I level, McRoberts owns a 587-245 (.706) overall record with 21 winning seasons and 19 years with 20 or more victories. A 10-time conference coach of the year, McRoberts’ teams have won a combined 13 conference regular season, tournament, and national postseason tournament titles. He has mentored a total of 20 All-Americans, 64 all-conference players, 11 conference players of the year, 12 Academic All-Americans, and 29 total specialty award winners at the conference level. He guided Ole Miss to three 22-win seasons, the most wins during the rally scoring era, had a pair of school-record 14-match winning streaks, and received AVCA Top 25 votes in 2019 for the first time in 12 years. Additionally, the Rebels’ four consecutive winning seasons from 2014-17 marked a first for the program in three decades. Prior to his time in Oxford, McRoberts led Tulsa to a 78-24 record, two NCAA Tournaments, two Conference USA regular season titles and a C-USA Tournament championship in three seasons. He coached five All-America selections at TU, including the NCAA's career leader in kills during the 25-point scoring era, and the school's all-time digs leader.
