People have a tendency of wanting to overhaul things that aren't entirely perfect. It's how we wound up with the BCS system. Statistically, there is no statistical advantage to the coin flip. About 51% of the teams that win the flip wind up winning the game. The solution would probably be worse than the problem; like the college overtime for example, which is even more unfair as the team that has the ball second doesn't have any difficult decisions to make.
