Russ Friedland joined the Ole Miss Volleyball staff in August of 2019, serving as an assistant coach where he will work primarily with the setters.
Friedland arrives in Oxford from Louisiana-Monroe, where he has spent the last 19 months at the helm for the Warhawks serving as head coach to both the indoor and beach volleyball teams. Prior to his stint in Monroe, Friedland was hailed as one of the nation’s top up-and-coming assistant coaches, providing an integral role in the turnaround of a stagnant East Carolina program.
While in Greenville, Friedland aided the Pirates to a single-season record in conference play with 13 wins in 2017, finishing with their first 20-win campaign since 2005 at 22-11.
Friedland is no stranger to being a Rebel or the Southeastern Conference, spending three seasons at UNLV and serving as a volunteer assistant at Tennessee before his time in Las Vegas. While at UNLV, Friedland primarily served as recruiting coordinator and helped guide the Rebels to nearly 60 wins in three seasons. In 2014, Friedland and the UNLV squad set single-season records for overall and conference wins at 26 and 14, respectively.
In Knoxville, Friedland mentored the setters and defensive specialists and helped guide the Lady Vols to an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2012 on a 22-8 clip.
Friedland originates from Mansfield, Conn., graduating from Endicott College in Beverly, Mass., where he lettered all four years in men’s volleyball.
