Open Officiating

One thing that won't change how these play out, but I think would help kick the conversation in the right direction. Eliminate fines for coaches and players $#!+ talking @NFLOfficiating when they screw up. We all see it. We all know it. Let's talk about it.

Make officials full-time well paid employees. Seek out younger "in their prime" people for the jobs. Have year-round training programs for them. Have a fine system for impactful mistakes. Have a relegation system of reserve officials. When an official has too many bad games they have to earn their way back in. Have a "Super Challenge" like the UFL does where a coach can challenge ANY thing and not just certain plays. Make officials face the media openly for everyone to hear the answers to questions every week. Teams submit further explanations on calls to the league. Make this transparent every week. Show us the work and the why. Utilize the sky judge more to overturn certain calls/call attention to certain calls, especially within the final minutes of the half/game. I'm sure there is more we could do. But these are things I would at least suggest and try to discuss as a billion-dollar entity.
