Gerry Austin seems quite high on Sara Thomas I'm almost positive that she'll be hired next year. No inside info, just a hunch.

Easy way is to look at who the finalist were last year. You can always check the east west shrine/senior bowl crews from last year to get a good idea...since they are assigned by the nfl. Here is what I know: From the East/West Shrine Game, Tracey Jones (Big East), Alex Kemp (Big 10), Ivan Daniels (CUSA), and Kevin Codley (Big East) were finalists this year. From the Senior Bowl, John McDaid (Big East), Johnnie Forte (CUSA), Harold Mitchell (CUSA), Walt Coleman (Big 12), Eugene Hall (Big 12) were finalists this year. Other finalists: Sarah Thomas (CUSA), Clay Reynard (Pac 12), Shawn Hochuli (Pac 12), and Mike Defee (Big 12).

Gonna be a lot more than that list of 13.
Not naming any names but there could be more than a dozen retirees this year...some think more after the new agreement is worked out.
If that includes adding an 8th official there are 17 more new right there. 30 New guys! huge impact all the way down the ranks. Gotta be a ton more finalists this year.

If someone is dropped for performance, we probably will never know.
We'll only know for sure if the official himself says he was terminated (like Jon Bible who has spoken very openly and honestly about his time in the NFL).

Other finalists (I think the class of 2010) inlcuded Scott Novak (Big 12), Rich Martinez (SEC), Brad Allen (ACC), Jerry Hocker (Big 10)........Keith Parham (Big East) was in that group and was hired by the NFL this year.

Does anyone have a link where Jon talks about his time in the NFL?

Does anyone have a link where Jon talks about his time in the NFL? It's from an issue of Referee Magazine. I transcribed the article a year or two ago. I don't know if the thread survived the renovations on this site. If I find it, I'll post the link for you.
