Michael White took the helm for the Bison in 2010, after being the assistant for two years, and has transitioned OBU women's soccer to one of the top programs in the GAC, appearing in eight consecutive GAC Championship games. 

In his 15 years with the program, the Bison women's soccer team has accumulated a record of 161-111-32. In the conference, where Coach White places the most importance, his teams have achieved a 107-41-25 record. The team has made it to the conference tournament championship game every year (8) since joining the GAC. 

Among his coaching accolades, White has produced four All-Americans and two Academic All-Americans, as well as 14 all-region and 70 all-conference selections. He's also instructed one GAC Defensive Player of the Year, a GAC Goalkeeper of the Year, a Midfielder of the Year and two Freshman of the Year honorees in addition to being named the GAC Coach of the Year in 2017 and 2018.

Last season, OBU made its eighth straight GAC Tournament final. Olivia Kenas and Lex Williamson were named to the All-GAC First Team while Sam Sheffield, Chloe Monroe and Claire Stoermer were named to the All-GAC Tournament Team. 

In fall 2021, White directed his Bison to a 13-6-1 record and winners of the GAC Tournament after a 1-0 decision over rival Southwestern Oklahoma State. That led to the program's second NCAA Tournament appearance.

In 2018, OBU became the first team in GAC history to go perfect in conference play with a 12-0-0 record. The Bison won their second conference title in a row and made it to the NCAA Central Regional for the first time. 

When Oklahoma Baptist claimed its first regular season Great American Conference title under White in 2017 after becoming just the second team in conference history to go unbeaten in league play with a 9-0-3 record. The squad went 15-2-3 overall, reaching the GAC Championship, while setting a program record for shutouts (10) and tying the program records for wins (15).

The Bison women's soccer team reached new heights in 2016, finishing as the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) National Runners-Up following a third-place finish in the Great American Conference. Led by NCCAA All-Americans Kenzi Bice and Ruth King, OBU tied the school record with 15 wins, including the program's first upset of a ranked Division II opponent (Texas Woman's).
Other coaching experiences include assistant men’s coaching position at Palm Beach Atlantic University, the head women's soccer coaching role at Montreat College for five seasons, and the head men and women’s role at Stratford Academy in Macon, GA winning two state championships and one runner-up.

Soccer is year around for Coach White. He coaches competitive soccer for the Norman Youth Soccer Association in the fall and spring and during the winter months he directs the Bison Winter Futsal league at OBU’s wellness center to raise money for the Bison women's soccer annual mission trips which have included trips to Boulder, Colorado, Daytona Beach, Florida, Fairbanks, Alaska, Redding, California, Natal, Brazil, Yerevan, Armenia, Newcastle, England and Reykjavik, Iceland.

Soccer opens doors, as White discovered while spending two years as a youth sports developer in Cambodia and Uzbekistan as part of the Southern Baptist International Mission Board. Thailand, Laos, Australia, New Zealand and West Asia are a few of the places where White has taken other teams for competition and service.

Coach White is married to Mandy (OBU ’94). The couple has seven children Hannah (OBU '22), Matthew (OBU '23), Michaela ('25), Hali, Hope, Hudson and Moriah. 

A player and graduate of Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama, White went on to attend the University of Alabama - Birmingham to earn his Masters degree in Sport Administration.

White also is a certified United States Soccer Federation coach with a national ‘A' Level Coaching License and has attended the USSF national GK course as part of his continuing education credits.
