Why does the CEO head coach even exist?

And I don't mean Coach Ed Orgeron.
Why would a P5 school pay Coach X (3-5 Million a year) to chaperone a high priced Defensive Coordinator and Offensive Coordinator, the success of which he is only moderately involved in?
This is literally the 2nd biggest trick the devil ever pulled.
When you hire a Defensive Coordinator as a head coach, you are normally saving money, by going out an hiring a young and oft under-experienced DCoordinator, to assist in the day-to-day of coaching the defense. Head Coach has tons of other responsibilities, and the DC makes his life a little easier. While going out and spending more money, on a guy that knows the other side of the ball to make up for his lack of knowledge.
And vice versa...
Why on Earth would you hire a head coach that doesn't specialize in either side of the ball very well, and pay him, and then on top of that have to go get 2 Coordinators who will be doing all the work, meaning you'd have to pay top dollar for them as well... and they have to answer to a guy that doesn't even understand the eccentricities of either job particularly well.
Seems like you'd be better off hiring the best OCoordinator and best DCoordinator and just giving them total oversight of their sides staff and get rid of the middle man.
Am I wrong? Am I playing checkers while LSU is playing chess? I'm so confused...

I'd beat Alleva at chess 9/10 times.
LSU leadership showed it's true colors today. And it sucks arse.

B/c at many schools the HC has to put up with a ton of other shite that isn't football related.
Places like Texas tend to need a CEO due to entitled arse boosters getting in way all the damn time.
You need a dude who can glad-hand and control all that other crap that goes along with the gig.

Florida State and Penn State did it because their figureheads could recruit like madmen but were too old to coach anything other than witness testimony to get their guys off the hook.

It's a good question. I don't know the answer. A head coach ought to have an expertise, one would think. I guess O knows defense.

The CEO model is antiquated. Of the last ten NC winning coaches only Miles and Chizik could even be considered to be CEO type and even that is arguable.

Seems we could have saved whatever we are paying O and give 3.5 million to our DC and OC....

I just do not get the salary. Coach O goes from 600k to 3.5m just because? We don't even bother negotiate? LSU has all and then some of the leverage.
Would O really walk away from 3m? From even 2 million? So long as he had incentive if he won?
Thought it was his dream job?
