4. Bob Stoops – Oklahoma
Total pay: $5,500,000
Best team in this year’s Big 12 conference – Oklahoma Sooners will not only get the chance to fight for the Orange Bowl title, but to fight for the national title should they win against undefeated Clemson Tigers. This is Bob Stoops’ seventeenth season as a head coach in Oklahoma and during his reign, Sooners have failed to make an appearance in BCS bowl for only six times. Such an impressive record is clearly deserving of $5.5 million annual contract. Not only that, but it will rise by additional $150,000 per annum until 2020 when it finally expires. Losing the Russell Athletic Bowl last year, Stoops’ bonuses have only amounted to $75,000, but they are already past that mark this season. Two cars for him and his family, and no less than 45 hours of private jet use are just everyday perks for such a successful and loyal coach.
