The NC State volleyball program ushered in a new era with the hiring of Bryan Bunn as head coach on Feb. 19, 2010. In his first year with the Wolfpack Bunn led the team to finish the season with its largest win total, both overall and in ACC play, since 1999. The squad also jumped 150 spots in the NCAA volleyball RPI, the largest move by a first-year coach and second-best of any Division I team in 2010.

Under Bunn's leadership, the Wolfpack also vastly improved in many statistical categories in 2010. Overall, the Pack offense smashed 1410 kills over the course of the season, outhitting opponents, which scored 1401. This marks the first time since the 1999 season NC State has scored more kills than its opponents.

Bunn has compiled 21 years of coaching experience, including 14 years as a head coach with a 365-140 (.723) record. As a head coach, Bunn has coached 18 All-Americans, 37 all-conference players, 32 all-region performers and five conference player of the year recipients. Eleven of his teams have won 23 or more matches, with four squads finishing in the top 10 nationally.

Bunn came to Raleigh after three seasons as the associate head coach at Baylor, where he helped resurrect that program. During his tenure, the Bears posted a 56-40 record while showing significant improvement each season, culminating with Baylor's first ever appearance in the NCAA Sweet 16. The 2009 campaign saw the Bears reach the postseason for the first time in nine years, spend 11 weeks in the AVCA Top 25 poll and achieve a No. 17 national ranking. Baylor reached the NCAA Sweet 16 after upsetting heavily favored UCLA on its own court in Los Angeles.

Prior to his stint at Baylor, Bunn spent seven season as the head coach at North Florida, posting a 180-56 (.798) record. He led the Lady Ospreys to five consecutive Peach Belt Conference crowns and NCAA Division II Tournament appearances from 2000-04, collecting conference coach of the year honors in both 2000 and 2002. North Florida won its final 60 conference matches as a member of the Peach Belt under Bunn's leadership.

In 2005 and 2006 he led the charge as UNF elevated into Division I status, guiding the program to respective 19-10 and 18-15 seasons and back-to-back top-three finishes in the Atlantic Sun Conference before joining the staff at Baylor. He departed North Florida as the winningest volleyball coach in school history, and with the best winning percentage of any head coach in all sports in UNF history.

Bunn coached the volleyball team and served as a faculty member at Texas Lutheran from 1994-99, posting a 171-66 (.722) record in six seasons. Under his watch, the Bulldogs won two conference titles, made two appearances in the NAIA national tournament and advanced to regionals on six occasions. He spent two seasons as an assistant coach on the staff at TLU before taking over as head coach.

Bunn's coaching career began with a two year tour as an assistant at Stephen F. Austin from 1990-91. He graduated from Texas - San Antonio in 1988 with a bachelor of arts degree in kinesiology and English, later earning a master's of education from Stephen F. Austin in 1992.

Bunn and his wife, the former Jen Wismann, reside in Raleigh, N.C. They were united in marriage in June of 2008.
