Now we know what it takes to make Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti happy.

Natalie Cignetti, the coach's daughter, has proof.

She shared a couple of screen shots of text exchanges after the Hoosiers beat Miami in the College Football Playoffnational championship game.

In one from 2019, after a Football Championship Subdivision playoff victory with his first James Madison team, she texted "are you happy!!!" at the end.

Curt Cignetti's response: "No."

Fast-forward to early Tuesday morning, as the Hoosiers are celebrating their undefeated season.

Natalie asks: "So… are you happy???"

The answer: "Yes ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️"

Curt Cignetti looks perpetually perturbed on the sideline, frequently scowling with his fists on his hips. But a national title gets a smile out of him.
