Best of luck - let us know when you have good news to share.
i'm in a similar situation. got replies from my thank you notes so they're probably not blowing me off completely, but no definitive notice yet. I've been waiting a day longer than you since my last interview in fact, so your chances are at least as good as mine.

Still no word! It's been a week since he checked my references! Can I email him Monday if I don't hear anything today?!

You're freaking out. Calm down and scroll back to read my response again to your previous question about whether or not you could call today.

Ah, OK. Sorry! I will reach out Monday morning if I don't hear back today.
But this is unusual, right, MPowering?

Hey, I'm in a similar situation, no response for two weeks after I submitted a reference list.
Yesterday, I sent a follow-up email, and the hiring manager replied that he has been traveling and not very available.

Your case might be like my case.

Email this afternoon or you'll be driving yourself crazy all weekend and this thread will be up to 12 pages. Just ask if they have everything they need from you and what the next steps and timeframe might be.

I would be extremely surprised if anyone receives a job offer between now and the week of January fifth.
