The strange tale of Rocky Seto took a humorous turn late Tuesday night.

Seto, the front-runner for the UCLA defensive coordinator job, was hired by the Bruins, according to a Daily Trojan story posted online Tuesday night. The story included a text attributed to Seto, “[I] accepted the position tonight to coordinate at UCLA. Praise the Lord!”

Shortly after a text message was sent Seto by the Los Angeles Times, the quote in the Daily Trojan story mysteriously vanished. The story still reported Seto was hired, just without attribution.

A UCLA official said that no one has been hired as defensive coordinator.
