Yes that has always been the argument. It is insane to me that for 180 k you cannot find a group of individuals who can make it a year round job. You pretty much could follow the players schedule. Officials training camp, regular season, etc.
You are dedicated to your craft and you make about 200k. What exactly is the hold up, because I will sign up yesterday.
I mean it is not like they make 2k a game so it is not feasible? For 200K do you really need another gig? Wtf?

one thing to me though would be if the NFL would have full time officials conditions of employment would be this would be his/her ONLY full time job. We have conditions in my role where I need to let the employer know if I obtain employment anywhere else, for any amount of hours.

I know a lot is made of how the current refs are from other jobs, even lauded most of the time. But at this point, with it impacting the play on the field, it really needs to be the only thing they do. OR the NFL needs to cut the rule book in half and just "let the players play", but they aren't going to do that.

I'm sure it's a Ref Union thing too, because the NFL can't just switch to full time ref's if they want too, they have to get the union to go along, and that probably involves "painful" give and take from the NFL.

Whatever the reasons against it, the NFL needs to make getting full-time officials a priority.

They could always pay Goodell much less than they do so they could afford full-time refs. What is he getting paid? I think it's around $40MM, which is absurd.

Refs should definitely be full time.

The refs are and have been god awful for a long time. Way too involved anymore in deciding the outcomes of game or heavily influencing them.. it really makes my blood boil on every level... they should have been full time for decades, it's a standard in other sports and i dont give a rats ass about the legnth of the season. Will they fix it? Prolly not the league doesn't give a.shit unless its gonna make them $ not cost them some. #joke

It's getting ugly in Jacksonville. Owner's son should know better than to chastise fans who've suffered a lot the past decade.

The Jaguars owner's son asked fans to be patient and everything went to hell - SBNation.com


It's probably time to fire Gus. Generally I don't like in-season firings, but Jacksonville should be winning at this point.
