No, that would not be better, that is a dumb suggestion. You only need to add 5 feet of hollow steel tube, done. No new rules, no additional costs, no controversy, and everyone would be happy with the result.
Also, the ball hitting the goalpost is far more exciting than having it vaguely go over and no one being sure about the call of an old dude with cateracts.
