How about a new head coaches contract to chew on.....

There’s going to be a change at some point. Massive guarantees for coaches will not be around forever.

It’s a supply and demand situation. Huge surplus in fan base interest and desire to win a nattie & not enough championship caliber coaches on the market. They hold all the cards so they have no reason to raise accountability. I do like your scenario, just can’t imagine that ever coming to fruition.

I don’t think it’ll ever be what you’re proposing, but there should absolutely be less base salary with higher incentives and bonuses for performance. And have requirements to meet or the buyout is reduced (ie. buyout being reduced by 50% if you finish unranked one year or outside of the top 15 for 2 seasons in a row)

Versus BK getting some 800k for yesterday’s coaching performance!

As long as football floats Athletic departments, this won’t happen. Eventually you’ll just see programs fold because they can’t compete financially.

I had a similar idea recently. My proposal is much simpler, something like this:
1 mil for every conference win
700k for power 4 non conf win
500k for other win

Bonus 1 mil for making playoffs
Bonus 1 mil for every playoff win
Bonus 2 mil for natty

Potential total compensation is +/-16 mil if you win it all.

Something like that. Pay per win is the only way forward in my opinion. Basically a commission based pay for head coaches. The better you perform, the more you get paid.

How about loss = no pay for that game.

Coach A calls up Coach B and proposes let's you and me split our salary down the middle no matter the outcome.

College football is just a minor league football league now and has little to do with the actual university.

It will turn into the NFL. You will have constant firings and reshuffling of the same coaches in the SEC and Big Ten.

I've been saying for years the payment for these guys ain't worth it. I've been getting down-voted every time. I hope that college powers that be get their act together and stop putting a choke hold on us with these salaries. We are still paying Coach O if I remember correctly, then people wanna fire BK and pay him, and then hire a new guy. This comes to big wigs putting us money, and driving up all costs associated with prices involving going to a game one way or another. Say what you want, it's not sustainable bc not the players want some money to, a piece of the the pie.
