Here’s an interesting approach. Hire someone with experience in the field to be the guy in charge of how your company operates in the field. The NFL has announced a new power structure to lead on-field officiating for the 2017 season and beyond, and surprise! The league actually hired a former game official to do the job.
Alberto Riveron, a nine-year veteran on the field for the league, has been hired as the new Senior VP of Officiating. Riveron takes over the role vacated by Dean Blandino, a controversial figure who was more made-for-TV than dissecting the nuance of interpreting the league rule book.
