The NFL will hold a career development symposium next week in Orlando Quincy Wilson Jersey , Florida.

The symposium will be Thursday-Saturday, right before the league's annual meeting. Aspiring head coach, coordinator and general manager candidates will learn about football administration, operations, coaching and scouting through presentations, panel discussions, breakout sessions and networking opportunities with club and league executives.

Among the speakers are coach Doug Pederson of the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles Antonio Callaway Jersey , Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter, Los Angeles Chargers coach Anthony Lynn and Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott.

Arizona Cardinals president Michael Bidwill and Atlanta Falcons president Rich McKay are also among the 64 coaches and front-office executives from across the league that will take part.

The symposium was held from 1998-2008 and returned in 2013. Last year's event focused on engaging aspiring female executives.

A frequent source of criticism of the NFL’s officiating is the fact that the officials are not full-time employees, and many do other work during the week and in the offseason. The league is moving toward changing that.

This year, the NFL announced today, 24 of the league’s 121 officials will be full-time employees.

“In an effort to improve consistency, efficiency and accuracy, the full-time game officials will work throughout the calendar year on game preparation and game administration Jamie Collins Jersey , analyzing current game trends, communicating with the clubs, and assisting to ensure that there is a qualified pipeline of future officials,” the league said in a statement.

The full-time officials will be referees Brad Allen, Walt Anderson, Jerome Boger, Pete Morelli and John Parry; umpires Fred Bryan Andre Hal Jersey , Roy Ellison, Tony Michalek and Carl Paganelli; down judge William Paterson; line judges Rusty Baynes, Jeff Bergman, Julian Mapp, Mark Perlman and Mark Steinkerchner; field judge Tom Hill; side judges Boris Cheek, Brad Freeman, Jonah Monroe and Scott Novak; and back judges Steve Freeman Jamize Olawale Jersey , Greg Meyer, Terrence Miles and Greg Steed.
