Girl Dating Star Recruit Thrilled To Learn Auburn Athletic Department Hiring

AUBURN, AL—Explaining that the opportunity is simply too good to pass up, 18-year-old Kendra Howard, who is currently dating one of the country's most coveted high school quarterbacks, expressed her excitement to reporters Friday upon learning of a new employment opening that just happened to become available at Auburn University’s athletic department.

“They just approached me out of nowhere, but it’s perfect timing since I’m about to graduate high school and could really use a good job,” said Howard, adding that the 30-hour-a-week salaried position comes with a 401(k) plan and a generous benefits package. “They didn’t really mention what I would be doing, but they said that I’m exactly what they’re looking for and that I’d be a great fit for the position. And the best part is I’ll be on the same campus as Brian once he starts practice in the summer, which is such a lucky coincidence.”

Howard added that she is also looking forward to seeing the familiar face of her boyfriend’s high school football coach, who will reportedly be joining the Tigers as their new quality control specialist in the fall.

I'm sure the NCAA will investigate this thoroughly for 24 hours and find everything is ok.

Does the Onion retract stories if they end up being true?

Ok, RH got me. I'm just an old guy who doesn't have a clue what The Onion is.

A satire/spoof news site.

That's the problem with Auburn and some of the other SEC schools....No one knows when anyone is joking anymore about things like this since Auburn is a member of the $EC, and we hear, or read all the time that Coaches hire former high school coaches(ex.Michigan) of some of the best players(#1 Gary) in America, so it's certainly not a stretch to believe that something like this doesn't, or hasn't already happened where a relative, or future relative of a talented potential prospect got a job that they weren't expecting, and I'm not naive enough to believe it hasn't happened at Carolina either because most of us know it has in one way, shape or form...Speaking of Michigan, Harbaugh is quickly adopting some of these longtime SEC practices, and is even increasing the Wolverines' chances at luring the best recruits by taking his team on a Spring Break/Spring Practice to the talent-loaded campus of the IMG Academy in Florida in hopes of convincing a few of these talented kids to join him up north in Ann Arbor....Not going to be very long before Michigan is once again in the title picture IMO....

In regards to Auburn,, we've already seen some of the basic Auburn shady practices in just the last week with WR Coach Craig delaying his announcement to LSU until after the Tigers had landed WR Nate Craig-Myers, his brother(CB) and other talented WRs on signing-day....Of course, a lot of schools do the same thing, but it just seems that the SEC teams have mastered this aspect of recruiting, so they still have the opportunity to sign the best players even though in some cases their position coach won't be there when they arrive....Strange to think that Auburn alumnus Craig would make a lateral move to go to LSU?

Read where Malzahn has now lost 5 of his top 9 Assistants over the last couple years, so I don't think that I would be really too excited to go to the plains right now if I were a talented kid who had other options....

Good joke and very believable, can't deny that!

I assume I would have believed it had I not seen the Onion URL in the link. Definitely seems like a believable story in my opinion.
