Pete Carroll mourns the passing of mentor, legendary Vikings coach Bud Grant

The NFL has lost one of the great coaches in the sport.

Former Minnesota Vikings head coach Bud Grant passed away on Saturday at the age of 95. Grant took the Vikings to four Super Bowls over his 18 seasons in charge of the team. He also won four Grey Cups with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the Canadian Football League prior to his NFL coaching career, and he’s a member of both the Canadian Football and Pro Football Hall of Fame. Grant was also an NBA champion when he played for the Minneapolis Lakers in 1950.
