As Indiana wrapped up practice at Florida International University on Saturday night, the weight of the moment settled in. For some Hoosiers, it was the realization that the session marked their final practice in an Indiana uniform — and the emotion showed.

Indiana football head coach Curt Cignetti shut down the idea that he was never happy or satisfied and he only looks that way during games.

In just his second season at Indiana, Cignetti has the Hoosiers in the semifinals of the College Football Playoff.

But all the historic wins Indiana has attained en route to its first appearance in the title game are irrelevant in the chase to reach the college football mountaintop. The Hurricanes are all that stand in the way of the Hoosiers reaching college football immortality Monday night inside Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.

Though one person who you won't see celebrating is Indiana coach Curt Cignetti. The Hoosiers' coach sports a notoriously icy demeanor on the sideline and went viral for his signature scowl during the Rose Bowl.

Cignetti argued in his introductory press conference that Indiana had no reason not to be competitive on a national level. But his most memorable line from his early days as head coach of the Hoosiers came a few weeks later, when he offered a simple two-word response: "Google me."

Despite almost taking the job with the Packers, Cignetti opted to join head coach Chuck Amato’s staff at North Carolina State University for the 2000 season as the tight ends coach. “That's when I made the final decision,” Cignetti said.

The Hoosiers are playing for their first national championship Monday against Miami. The significance is palpable, but they remain focused on the task at hand.
