Legitimately confused by what an absurd apples to oranges argument this is. You're ignoring that other candy bar brands are desperate to hire this CEO, and instead leaning on some weird phantom "precedent?" Ben getting a lot of money is ultimately great for all head coaches.

I'll never for the life of me understand this take. Who fucking cares how much he asks for? These are billionaires and if he can get the money he should! He's walking into a situation where everyone is impatient as hell (GM's, fans, owners, media) and most coaches are getting fired before they even change their drivers license. I cannot roll my eyes back into my head hard enough for the "it's arrogant to ask for more money" take.
HE SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET IT BECAUSE HE SHOULD BE TOLD "NO!"
If the CEO of Mars, Inc was retiring and a replacement choice was identified and he requested a 1M annual salary would you give it to him? Sure.
What if he wanted 10M?
100M?
500M?
1B?
No?!?!?!?!?!?
You mean there's established precedents, other people available, a limit to how much value they can bring, a possibility they won't do a good job, an expectation that they prove themselves first?
But the Mars family are billionaires!
Being a CEO is stressful!
Owners demand results!
Eye rolls!
Hysteria!
Exclamation points!
Every single new hire should be able to reset the market!
They should be paid any amount they ask for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess lets just agree to disagree on this one.
