I said no they shouldn't change. but I just got an interesting idea. Instead of a coin flip let the teams decide who gets the ball first.
You do that by the visiting team getting to decide where they want to take it. They could say "we'll take the ball at the 20". The home team could then counter 'we'll take the ball at the 15". Then you go back and forth going lower and lower until one team lets the other have the ball OR the first team to agree to take the ball at the one yard line gets it.
I think that would be fair and stop all the complaining. Cause no one is going to complain about one team not getting a chance to posses the ball if both teams have a chance to 'bid' on the ball. Even if the visiting team's first bid is to take it at the one yard line and the home team gets no chance to have it can you really complain if you let a team drive 99 yards for a TD?
