joneo 529 Posted March 12, 2023 https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/bud-grant-has-passed-away/ar-AA18vngA?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=1099e4520c654e58a9588829c2155f29&ei=60 Legendary head coach Bud Grant has passed away at the age of 95. The news just came via the Vikings’ official Twitter account moments ago. Grant is, by far, the greatest head coach in the history of the Vikings. From 1967 to 1983, Grant led the Vikings to four Super Bowls, compiling a record of 158-96-5 along the way. He was the first choice of Vikings’ ownership to coach the team when they were first awarded an expansion franchise in 1960, but he passed on the opportunity to remain with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League. After winning four Grey Cups in Canada, he took over as head coach of the Vikings in 1967 following the firing of Norm van Brocklin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
