Legendary Vikings coach Bud Grant dies at 95
Bud Grant, who coached the Minnesota Vikings through their greatest years, died at the age of 95 on Saturday.
The team announced the death of the coach who led the Purple People Eaters to four Super bowls.
Grant was beloved during his time on the sidelines and more so after his career.
Grant was the first person to be inducted into both the CFL Hall of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He had a career regular-season record of 158-96-5 in the NFL and 102-56-2 in the CFL and went a combined 26-20-1 in the postseason between the two leagues.
We are absolutely devastated to announce legendary Minnesota Vikings head coach and Hall of Famer Bud Grant has passed away this morning at age 95.
We, like all Vikings and NFL fans, are shocked and saddened by this terrible news. pic.twitter.com/z2NNlNAY44
