And a CEO or Sales guy is probably the highest paid employee of a software company.

But the CEO and the Sales guy are key to the software company's mission. The football coach is not key to either education or research.

That's silly, the coach is key to the athletics department he was hired to work for, just as the CEO and sales guy are key to their respective departments (or in the case of the CEO, the entire company).

So innocent :) CEOs more often then not, are not essential to the company. Sales guy maybe, but plenty of them sell based on company inertia.

Now a coach on the other hand...
