1. Independent replay officials, ie not anyone who is or has ever been an on-field official. The feeling of the replay guys of not showing up the on-field guys is pervasive and counter-productive. And the two jobs have two completely different skill sets.

2. Give the on-field refs the option of not making an on-field call, leaving it up to the replay booth. There's no need to make them make a call one way or the other when they don't know themselves, then making the replay booth defer to it.

And some sort of screening validating they have the mental capacity of at least an average 12 year old would be nice also.
