Same job, different wording.

Anyone know if one of these is Jon Fisch's job? Was announced yesterday that he's off to Seattle. Just wondering if one of these openings is him or if there's going to be a third one soon.

I don't know Jon Fisch, but I know a few who know him, and they say nothing but good things about him. Plus, he's one helluva designer.

 

[JRoyal]

Haven't met Fisch myself, either, but I love his stuff.

 

[Luke_Knox]

Fisch? He ain't all that. ;D

No, I'm kidding. Jon's a good friend, and one of my favorite sports designers out there.

And James, I'm pretty sure that one of these openings is to replace him. Should be interesting to see who ends up there.

i've never met fisch, but talked to him on here and seemed like a good dude. i've also seen his work and, well, it's top notch. congrats jon (even if this isn't exactly the right forum for that, but hell, do it where we can)

Anyone know their timeline for hiring for this? Or whose ash I could kiss to improve my chances?

 

[brian griffin]

The two people who are leaving's last days are Friday and Saturday. They have one person coming in next week to interview. So I have a feeling they are going to move quickly on replacing them. I'm sure they would like to have someone in place by the start of football season.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

Who ended up getting these?

 

[brian griffin]

No hires yet. I wonder if the announcement of buyouts this week will play a role in who/when they make a hire.
