Just give this man his own "A Football Life" already. Truly a legend
Yeah before he passes away!
Good point, some of the clowns they have on AFL are unbelievable
Alongside with an episode talking about its Purple People Eaters and Fran Tarkenton while there should also be an episode about Bills legendary head coach Marv Levy too before he dies!!!
Give Bub Grant a head coach and a haunted jacket and his shotgun go duck haunting on weekend
It’s crazy that he doesn’t have A Football Life yet. Shameful honestly
This man is easily one of the most badass men that has ever walked the planet. "I didnt care about school I just wanted to win the war", going out in that windchill in short sleeves at 88, and still hunting with his dog lol. What an absolute legend.
Z Y skol baby
I'm w/ you 100%. And I was a Ram fan as a kid. They don't make em like ole Bud anymore. Now he downplays not winning the Super Bowl but watching him go into the hof you know it meant something to him. I'd give him the shirt off my back if he needed it!
@@richardmorris7063 🙏 got good taste for what encompasses Greatness. But...he beat KC to kick-off 70 season. Any loss is a loss. But his Family was #1 with Him. He was taken deer hunting months ago. Mind was sharp as a tack. Rec, 103 yo gal made news. Oldest best vikings fan. Who wanted to shake His hand. By God he strolled into her place w his electric scooter. Not often will you see 2 ppl that age hv a talk. W brains we'd hope to have at 80.
I had Bud autograph a helmet at a local card show. I said thanks Coach! Bud replied, I should be thanking you, you just have me $20 bucks.
Bud was 88 during this interview. Incredible memory.
Grew up in the 70's watching Bud Grant and the Purple People Eaters... so many fond memories. Bud was definitely a man cut from true family values and principle. SKOL!
Tim Olsen I grew up watching him in the 70s too I just never knew what kind of person he was just an incredible person
So proud of Bud, and his accomplishments.
Bud shot the biggest canvasback I ever saw...10 minutes before sunrise!!!!
a very talented individual, no matter where he went he was successful, amazing!
I read a bit about him recently, and the man just loves cold weather. He was born in northern Wisconsin, went to the University of Minnesota and spent a lot of his professional career In Winnipeg Canada. There are videos of him wearing short sleeve shirts in winter.
The guy would probably love a winter vacation in Siberia. Would undoubtably hate Hawaii or Florida. Surprised he doesn’t have a beachfront home in Barrow Alaska.
I watched live as Bud and Joe took the Vikings to the Superbowl in 1970 - He deserved so Much More !
I always rooted against the Vikes but now looking back I wish he coulda won one. That team took on his personna, tough as nails..loved the guy.
R.I.P coach Grant.. truly a man’s man.
As a kid in the sixties II was a Ram fan who hated the Vikings. Now @65 I love Bud Grant, maybe my favorite coach all time. Being a former Marine this guy was everything my Do wanted us to be. This country needs more leaders like Bud. I suspect when I hear of his passing ill shed a tear.Love ya Buddy!!
RIP Bud u were the best.
Can there be A Football life episode about this man? Worthy of one
Didn’t know he was veteran. As a Bears fan I’m now also a Bud Grant fan, what a stud.
I was a Rams fan, now I love the guy. Absolutely salt of the earth.
The greatest Blue Bomber of all time and one of the greatest coach's in CFL and NFL history!
Greatest Viking of all time🐐
Easily..
Absolute Legend Bud 👏 🙌 💛💜🙏🏼 God Bless Bud Grant A True American 🇺🇸 Skol Vikings For Life
I'll be goddamned. I thought I knew a lot about early basketball but I had no idea that Bud played in the NBA. Every day I learn something new.
jeffw1267 could of played Pro baseball as well. 3 sport star at the university of Minnesota
This guy is unbelievable what a story I'm a lifelong patriots fan Born and raised in Boston but I'm a Minnesota fan This minutes
I’m just a kid from Minneapolis Minnesota!! I love the cold!!!
RIP bud. 1927-2023
That is beautiful, now I been vikings fan, ever season, but this showed detail
Didn't realize Bud was such a pioneer!!!
The greatest blue bombers coach of all time
My hero!!!
Rest in peace to one of the greatest coaches of all time
Pure class.
I had no clue Bud Grant played professional Basketball, that is amazing.
He also hit a game winning shot in one of the finals game. Said he learned how to be a professional from George Mikan who he said was the most focused and competitive person in athletics he ever seen. Not most talented but most competitive. Bud brought this quality of focus and competitiveness into his other endeavors. Between Canada and nfl he won over 300 games. Back then Canada paid than nfl teams. Competition between two leagues were close then unlike the vastly superior nfl is today. He won five cfl titles and appeared in four super-bowls snd ein last nfl title in 1969. Nfl didn’t recognize superbowl until 1970 yearvleagues merged. Previous bowls were thought of as games to be played to push that merger together. They even had Shula invincible colts lay down to jets to make afl look compatible. Shula was so disgusted shortly he took over dolphins to run the new expansion team called Miami Dolphins. Most successful expansion team in history. Everyone rages on about rivalry between Steelers and raiders in 70s but dolphins won two of three super bowls and dominated early 70s 1970-1974 Pittsburgh upset Vikings to go to thier first superbowl to face Vikings was Vikings third in 70s at this point. Great times
He also wore short sleeves in the Bears game on Monday night when the Metrodome was damaged
The Great Leader of Minnesota Vikings country , very stoic, keeps his opinion to himself through his beliefs , not to say much lead by example.... Uffta!!!!! SKOL NATiON........
Man's man
NFL & NBA awesome!
As a cowboys fan , Tom Landry is the greatest coach ever. But Bud Grant was a LEGEND .
Bud Grant had a good life and a very interesting one
Katie Nolan, just Katie Nolan. Charisma and straight smoke.
My father grew up in Prairie Farm, WI. Twice a year, Memorial Day and Labor Day Prairie Farm would play Ridgeland in town baseball. Teams would often pay an outside player (usually a pitcher) to play for them. Ridgeland paid Bud Grant to pitch for them My father, no more than 14, knew this, and went directly to the Prairie Farm baseball field after church to get the best seat behind home plate. He remembers Bud pulling in in his green Studebaker and crew cut. Bud was about 20 at the time.
"They fired Al Sherman, the coach."
Wait hang on a sec was this the Allie Sherman? The future Giants coach? I did not know their paths intersected like that.
Yea, the Giants had Tom Landry & Vince Lombardi on that staff. Some legends right there but none greater overall than this man.
"School wasn't important to me , I wanted to fight the war!"
Man chewed nails & spit out bullets!
I was at this game in poison and itwaawawawas joriblycold
I don't know if it's true, but I read somewhere that Bud Grant was a model for some department store when he was younger.
R.I.P. Bud Grant
Bud probably loved hunting and fishing 🎣 in Canada 🇨🇦
Bud earned a lot of money during the summer by pitching for whatever Town Team baseball team would pay him the most. He pitched for my hometown of Maple Lake for a while, and all the girls, including my mom, would go to the games and swoon over his coal black hair and bright blue eyes. : )
Effing legend
Awesome
The vikings in the 60s and early 70s played division games in cold, outdoor stadiums. No wonder Bud never was affected by the cold
RIP
Let's go BOMBERS
True manliness
RIP coach
Bud don’t get cold, cold get Bud
Classic stuff as man walks out in short-sleeves shirt and doesn’t allow heater to be used on the sidelines. Too bad he couldn’t win a Super Bowl as he deserved one.
Watching this makes me depressed because Mr Grant most likely won’t see a Viking Super Bowl
PS not a Vikings fan
Goat
Original Antonio Gates and Gronk
Your beautiful, play joe cocker, you are so beautiful, I could sing it
What other human can say they won a championship in the cfl,nfl, and nba
I think hes in all three HoF's and the big 10s
His real name is Harry Peter.........okaaaayyyyyy
harry peter grant jr....his nickname is bud
Bruh he played for the now LA Lakers
Here is a list of Super Bowl appearances by coach:
Bud Grant 4
all other coaches in Vikings history combined. 0
That girl looks like the girl from big metal bird-united.
Hello mah dudes 👻🙈🙉
Nothing against the girl but give me a gruffy veteran.
All those division titles and super bowls were achieved when the Vikings played outside. All that ended when they started playing in a dome. The had an opportunity to bring back the dominates with building a outdoor stadium but, noo the Vikings in their infinite wisdom states, we want to host super bowls not play in them. Smh doesn't make any sense from a football perspective?!?!
They went soft after Bud left!
Bud ...your contribution to "play not to lose" only surpassed by your poaching walleyes!!! Well ....
If Bud Grant was the greatest of all-time, why did his teams choke in three Super Bowls? I'm waiting....
Kenneth Lucas U can’t win every game, and it wasn’t his fault most of the time. Costly fumbles and penalties ended what could have been a dynasty
1st SB; They never really had that great a passing game
2nd SB; They played the Miami Dolphins..nuff said
3rd SB; The Steelers were the most roid juiced team of the 70's, long before they outlawed it
4th SB; by then their players were too old, OL was old, DL was old
He's lucky not to have contracted Pneumonia.....at initial start....BUD? BETTER TAKE UP Bow and Arrow for deer hunting.....your baiting dumps ? Well ...born in Superior....WHERES THE CLIP OF BUD PLOTTING STRATEGY WITH RED MCCOMBS ....PURPLE PRIDE!! UGHHHH
Bud.....so boring so boring ....boy the hate comments I shall receive ...WORSHIP BUD LEGIONS!!! I CAN TAKE IT!!!
Bud Grant was solely responsible for the Vikings LOSING 4 Super Bowls. If you know both teams in each of those contests and you watch how those games played out, one thing stands out as CRYSTAL CLEAR: Bud Grant was OUTCOACHED in each one of those contests. The opposing coaches scouted the Vikings well and game planned effectively against them. They took away the Vikings strengths and exploited their weaknesses. Bud Grant did NONE OF THAT. Bud Grant just had the Vikings go in there and do what they always did, and they fell right into the opposing teams' traps. It's also important to note that the Vikings from 1969 through the 70s had the best roster in football. The Vikings got to the Super Bowls because of their talent IN SPITE of Bud Grant. When Bud Grant returned to the Vikings in 1985 after a two-year retirement, he wasn't even able to coach them to a winning record, proving that it was his great players that buoyed his coaching record during the 70s, the Vikings' heyday. Even with that great roster that buoyed his coaching record for 8 years, his coaching record is still only the 8th-best record in comparison to his peers. He's not even in the top 3! If Grant had been brought to a lousy team like the Detroit Lions, he probably wouldn't have been a coach for very long and no one would remember his name. His legacy would be buried in obscurity. It is especially gut-wrenching that Grant's Vikings lost so many playoff games to Tom Landry and the hated Dallas Cowboys. That's just gut-wrenching. Landry outcoached Grant. Hank Stram made child's play out of outcoaching Grant in Super Bowl 4. Let's maintain a grasp of the truth here. John Madden' made minced meat out of Grant, made his team look terrible. If not for a blocked punt recovered in the end zone for a touchdown, that game would have been more lopsided than it was, nevertheless, the Vikings lost by 15 points. Don Shula did he same, beat the Vikings by 21. In all of the Super Bowls in which the Vikings played, they were beaten quite badly, by lopsided scores. This is all testament to Bud Grant's poor coaching. So let's be truthful and stop the hero worship. I don't care that Bud Grant walked out onto the field at age 88 in 6-below temperature with a short-sleeved polo shirt. That only proves how stupid he is. Get a grip on reality, people!
Hate is a sickness
@@tunnsie Yes, and you obviously have a hate for truth and facts.
He did the best he could with what he had. Went up against 4 of the best teams ever & didn't get blown out. I think you missed the point. If you don't have something nice to say keep you're opinions @ least respectful.
@@richardmorris7063 What planet are you on? The Dolphins blew them out, so did the Raiders and the Chiefs. The least lopsided game was against the Steelers and even that was a difference of 10 points. The fact of the matter is that in all of those games, the Vikings had the best players on the field and it was due to poor coaching that they lost. Your delusional view that Bud Grant can do no wrong is nothing but social psychology, and has no basis in fact.
@@artvandelay8090 show some respect to the man, the Chiefs,Dolphins, Steelers & 77 Raiders were as good as any teams in history in those yrs. Joe Kappa played like crap that game. 5 months later they beat those Chiefs w/ Tarkenton. You're gonna tell me the undefeated Dolphins & Steelers weren't among the best ever? What planet are you from? The Raiders were also up there as one of the most potent teams ever. Bud may have not been the greatest coach ever but he's more of a man than you'll ever be.
