Ferentz: "Not much energy into DC search. Do that in January."

[FalseMirage]

You said Parker, I said why not name him. Still waiting for a reason.
So your gibberish above is irrelevant.

If its not Parker, you certainly don't say things like we'll worry about it in January. That comes across as we don't really care right now. Instead I'd argue you say something like, we're assessing the situation, evaluating some things and trying to make a good decision for the program or any number of things that don't resemble...we'll worry about it in January.

Here's your reason - affirmative action. KF already knows who he is hiring but the University has to go through the motions in order to avoid a discrimination lawsuit.
