College football's highest-paid overall staff, folding in the head coach's compensation, works at Oklahoma, where Bob Stoops is guaranteed $4.3 million this year and his nine assistants will total nearly $2.5 million before bonuses. Alabama and LSU also boast $6 million-plus staffs.

Assistant football coaches' contracts with NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision schools can be more than a matter of salary. USA TODAY's A.J. Perez compiled a list of some of the more unusual provisions of current deals:

Call of duty:Air Force assistant coach Lt. Col. Darryl Sumrall and Army assistant coach Capt. Clarence Holmes are on active duty. Two Air Force coaches, Charlton Warren and Jemal Singleton, are classified as administratively determined employees, making them federal civil service workers.

As such, the U.S. Military Academy reports Holmes as having no coaching salary. The Air Force assistants are reported as having salaries, but they are not eligible for incentive bonuses, as is the rest of the Falcons staff.

Job security:Alabama offensive line coach Joe Pendry, 62, has a provision in his contract that will guarantee his employment until age 65 as a "regular part-time employee, at the then prevailing federal minimum wage" if his contract is terminated without cause.

Come on back:Georgia coaches can get a retention bonus of up to $50,000 if they stay on staff for certain periods of time, the term of which varies by coach.
