Is there any kind of limit on the number of "coaches/helpers/assistants"? I swear, before the game Saturday, Bama looked like there were 100 guys on the field in coach gear waiting for the players to come on the field for warmups. Looked like they had 5 times as many as Auburn

This data is about 5 years old but at one time bama led the country in off the field "coaches" with 43 of them. Many were former HS coaches that Saban had hired once they delivered a kid, etc...others were problem coaches or coaches to old for the riggers of the trail but still could contribute breaking down film, etc...The NCAA had no limitations at the time. Ironically, Auburn was 2nd with 29 positions.

The NCAA has cracked down a bit, but I don't believe there is a limitation on numbers. You can't take a job like that if a kid from your school has signed in the last 2 years, etc...are the new rules.
