Relax. If we hadn't hired anyone by last Thursday we weren't going to announce anyone until tomorrow at the earliest. Friday-Saturday out of respect for the conference you don't compete with the featured event.
Sunday-Tuesday out of respect for Fulmer. He deserves his moment in the sun without people asking him what he thinks of his latest replacement. Will he probably be asked about the opening? Sure, but he can decline that easy. He has to say something nice about the new guy if asked so it would be disrespectful to make him do it at his banquet.
Look for an announcement tomorrow or Thursday.
