Most Intriguing College Hires

So here is Todd Dodge, the new coach at North Texas. The team he's leaving is in the playoffs — the Class 5A, Division I final against Westlake High on Saturday.

So here is North Texas, with a fat-cat booster named (seriously) "Mattress Mack," who threatened to redirect a million-dollar donation from the athletic department to the music department if a practice facility wasn't named after recently fired coach Darrell Dickey. Guess who won that battle? Can you say "Dickey Fieldhouse"?

A coach willing to walk into that situation gets an "A" on any hiring report card. Then again, Dodge's 78-1 record and three state titles over the past five years at Southlake Carroll help, too.

This has to be the most intriguing coaching hire of the season, but plenty of others stand out:
