One moment summed up Bud Grant and his legend in Minnesota, and it came long after he was done coaching.
In 2016, the Minnesota Vikings played a wild-card playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks. It was an outdoor game, before the Vikings' new indoor stadium was finished, and the temperature was six degrees below zero. The wind chill was 25 degrees below zero. At the time it was the third-coldest playoff game in NFL history.
Grant, who was 88 years old at the time, came out to midfield for the pregame coin toss wearing short sleeves.
