Talk to him first, and see what his response is.

I think it'll all depend on the relationship you have with him... 8-9 years is a LONG time... regardless of the 2 weeks going by, if you talk to him and let him know how you feel, he'll probably (if he's smart) try to make it right, or at least discuss options with you.

To just drop him because some potential new guy screwed up seems a little overboard, IMO.
