He spent ten years as the Blue Hens\u2019 coach, winning four Grey Cups in that span, before Minnesota hired him as its head coach in 1967.<\/p>\n<p>Grant made his name with the Vikings, leading the team for 18 years from 1967 to \u201983, and one final season in \u201985. Minnesota won 11 NFL\/NFC Central titles under Grant, making the Super Bowl four times. The Vikings won NFL Championship in 1969, the year before the AFL and NFL merged, but fell in Super Bowl IV to the AFL\u2019s Chiefs. In total, Grant had a 158-96-5 record as Minnesota\u2019s coach, placing him at No. 19 on the NFL\u2019s all-time wins list.<\/p>\n<p>Grant was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 1994.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/2023\/03\/11\/bud-grant-dies-95-minnesota-vikings-hall-of-fame-coach\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a> Daniel Chavkin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this story:Minnesota Vikings Former\u00a0Vikings\u00a0head coach Bud Grant has died at the age of 95, Minnesota announced on Saturday.Grant was a multi-sport athlete at the University of Minnesota, playing football, basketball and baseball for the Gophers.
