Johnson is the husband of Lisa Johnson, recently hired by Moos away from Idaho as Nebraska’s women’s golf coach. John had been employed at WSU until recently. Lisa was formally announced as the golf coach here on June 17.

Klassy spent two years as the athletic director at Illinois-Chicago and before that was a senior deputy athletic director at George Washington.

"Our team will work tirelessly to ensure that our student-athletes have the resources to win championships, graduate from an elite institution and prepare them for life after Nebraska," Klassy said in the release. "We will make sure the Nebraska brand is promoted globally and the great Husker fans will have an amazing experience at our events."

Klassy's title is approximately the same as former senior administrator Marc Boehm, who left earlier this month after 16 years at NU.

Moos has three deputy athletic directors — Bob Burton, whose title was chief of staff before Johnson arrived; John Jentz, who is the chief financial officer; and Pat Logsdon, who is the senior woman administrator — and two executive associate athletic directors (Dennis Leblanc, academics, and Jamie Vaughn, compliance) beneath him.

Johnson will now factor prominently in the picture, too.
