Sources have indicated to Inside Nebraska that Dr. Susan Elza will be named the next Chief of Staff at Nebraska under Matt Rhule. Elza has been the University Interscholastic League Director of Athletics in Texas since being hired for the position in 2015. The University Interscholastic League is the Texas version of the NSAA as Elza oversees the UIL athletic department and administers athletic activities for member schools.
Elza had previously served as the Executive Director of Athletics at Northwest Independent School District in Fort Worth, Texas. She’s also served as Assistant Athletic Director of Allen Independent School District as well as the head softball coach for both Garland and Allen. Elza received her Doctorate of Educational Leadership from Lamar University.
If hired, this is a power move for Rhule, who continues to use his connections in Texas to land a powerful figure in Texas high school sports. With his emphasis on bringing Lone Star State talent to Nebraska, Dr. Elza’s hire would be indicative of how much Rhule and his staff plan to attack the state.
