Curt Cignetti’s Daughter Is Going Viral After Leaking Her DMs [PHOTOS]

Curt Cignetti is finally happy.

Curt Cignetti and the Indiana Hoosiers have made history. For the first time in program history, they’ve won a National Championship.

This was a massive and unprecedented turnaround. This school, usually known by its basketball program, turned to Coach Cignetti, a not-so-known name at the time, hoping for a miracle. However, not even the most optimistic fan thought this would happen overnight.

That’s why, now that the Hoosiers have gone the distance and the Cignettis have become world famous, his daughter Natalie wasn’t safe from internet detectives.

An old tweet from 2019 resurfaced after the championship game. Apparently, it’s not easy to make her father happy:

“Wins first D1 playoff game. Scores 66 points. Improves to 12-1and… Curt Cignetti, everybody,” the daughter wrote while sharing a screenshot of their conversation. “Are you happy!!!” she asked. “No,” he replied, bluntly.

Considering that, Natalie went viral again. She updated the post by sharing a new conversation with her old man. This time, she finally got the response she was hoping for:

“This tweet of mine from 2019 re surfaced randomly. Everyone is wondering if you’re happy now lol. So… are you happy?” she asked. “Yes!!!!!!!” the coach replied.

Curt Cignetti Says He’s Happy At Times

Besides his prowess as a tactician and head coach, Cignetti became popular for his temper and stone-cold demeanor.

Just like Bill Belichick, you never see him smiling on the sidelines, regardless of how much his team is dominating. However, when asked about that, he admitted that it was all because of his job:

“If I’m going to ask my players to play the first game, first play to play [No.] 150 the same, regardless of competitive circumstances, then I can’t be seen on the sideline high-fiving people and celebrating, or what’s going to happen, right? What’s the effect going to be?” the coach said, per Fox News. “So that’s why I am like I am during game. … I do smile, and I am happy, at times.”

Cignetti also likes to celebrate like everybody else. He just does it behind closed doors:

“I’ll smile and celebrate later in the coaches room with the coaches, you know, maybe have a beer,” the coach added.

Multiple NFL teams could make a run at Cignetti, although they would have to pay a high price to buy him out. Whatever the case, he’s probably just going to lie down and smell the flowers, now that he’s finally happy.
