re: Coaches pay should be based on winning not on the possibility of winning

So we can assume you don't understand how capitalism, the free market, and negotiations work, right?

NO coach, except maybe those desperate for a job, would agree to a contract where they only get paid for wins rather than a contract where they get paid regardless.

Here's how your proposal would work in real life:

Ohio St AD: "Hey coach. We'd like to offer you a 5 year $40 million contract to coach our team."

LSU AD: "Hey coach, we'd like to offer you a 5 year, $60 million contract with payment contingent upon wins. Coach? Coach are your there?"

Coach to LSU AD: "You aren't serious, right? No thanks. I think I'll just sign with Ohio St. But if you ever decide to live in the real world one day, feel free to call"
