Not really offseason related, but I had the opportunity to catch most of an interview yesterday on NFL Network Radio (Sirius 88) with HOFer Bud Grant. This guy is 89 years old and he is as sharp as he was when he was coaching. Complete pleasure to listen to him talk and to share his view of Buddy Ryan's impact on defensive football in the NFL. It was hilarious hearing him talk about how many assistant coaches they have these days compared to his day and how much of what is done by computer now they used to do by hand.
The image of him walking to midfield last year for the coin flip in the playoff game between the Vikings and Seahawks in -20(? I forget the actual temperature, but COLD) weather in just a polo shirt will stick with me forever. One of the classic coaching figures in NFL history and a guy that is synonymous with the Vikings.
