Legendary Minnesota Vikings head coach Bud Grant has died at age 95 in his home, the team announced in a tweet Saturday, adding that it is 'absolutely devastated' about the loss.
Grant, who was born Harry Peter"Bud" Grant, Jr., had been immersed in the sports world for much of his life — participating in basketball, baseball, and football. He was even drafted into the NBA, playing for the Minneapolis Lakers for two years and winning a championship ring before switching leagues and joining the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles.
He then went on to play for four seasons with a Canadian team, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, where he also coached after retiring as a player. As a coach for the Bombers, he led the team to four championship wins and picked up the Canadian Football League Coach of the Year award for himself.
