Please excuse the sarcasm.

As told by Lee Hays:

"Kliff called. The first thing he said was, 'Are you in?'"

"I said, 'Yep.'"

"(He said) 'I'll call you later with details.'  That was it.  The next time I heard from him was about a week later."

Kingsbury previously worked with Hays while the two coaches were a part of Kevin Sumlin's staff at the University of Houston.

The rest of Kingsbury's staff includes Eric Morris (co-offensive coordinator / inside receivers), Kevin Curtis (defensive backs), Mike Smith (co-defensive coordinator / outside linebackers), Trey Haverty (safeties / special teams coordinator), Mike Jinks (running backs), Matt Wallerstedt (defensive coordinator / inside receivers), and Sonnie Cumbie (co-offensive coordinator / outside receivers), and John Scott Jr. (defensive line).

Watch as Hays explains the exhausting process:
