Todd - will they fill this now wait until your replacement is named?
And congrats on the Orlando gig.

Or was someone promoted in Fayetteville from this job posting to Todd's spot?

And congrats.

No, the designer job came open on Friday and I was informed about Orlando today. While the person will be doing mostly sports, they will be a direct report to the AME, Bobby Parker, who runs the universal desk. So I think they'll go forward looking for a hire at the same time as they search for my replacement.

And thanks. I'm very excited.
