While not perfect, the NFL has one of the best systems for ref evaluations since every year each ref gets evaluated on how well or bad they did. Using those results, the NFL then can either fire or demote/promote to certain games.

They use the Superbowl as the showcase for their best refs and in turn becomes a major goal for refs to achieve in a season.

MLB is like the NBA where they just keep refs regardless of how bad their quality in calls becomes over the years. Although to be fair, MLB refs are not as bad as NBA refs who change their call style based on matchups or even within a game itself.
