R Scott Green, SJ Larry Rose retiring
During today’s Ravens-Bengals game on CBS Sports, announcer Jim Nantz reported that referee Scott Green and side judge Larry Rose will both retire at the end of this season. Â Both are still eligible for postseason assignments.
Green entered the NFL as a back judge in 1991. Â He worked Super Bowl XXXVI and XXXVIII as a back judge and Super Bowl XLIV as a referee.
Rose has been a side judge for his entire NFL career and he officiated Super Bowl XLII.
This opens up a coveted white hat for the 2014 season. Â This preseason, the NFL auditioned Wayne Mackie, Adrian Hill, Ronald Torbert, and Craig Wrolstad at the referee position. Â Green’s replacement will most likely come from those four candidates.
