Bud Grant, former coach of the Minnesota Vikings, passed away at the age of 95. Grant took the Vikings and their their ferocious Purple People Eaters defense to four Super Bowls in eight years and lost all of them. Which, as a Bears fan, was hilarious and heart warming. RIP to one of the greatest to ever coach an NFL team.

Bud and Marv Levy are the only 2 guys to coach teams to championships in the CFL and the NFL. Although both have the dubious distinction of losing the Super Bowl 4 times.
