I did a virtual campus visit interview for tenure track assistant professor positions in an R1, private university in the U.S. They hire multiple people. I think that I aced a job talk and was good with one-to-one faculty interviews. My supervisor told me that they have not reached out to her for a letter of recommendation even before the campus visit (They requested only a list of three referee contact information at application). It is a bad sign?

My supervisor said that this is not any sign, but the dean emailed and said that they hope to finalize the decision in two weeks, and now it is over two weeks, which worries me. This is my dream job. I am going to wait for one extra week and am thinking of emailing them after then. Does some university hire a junior faculty without reaching out to references?
