True lol. I just love Bud as a person and a character. He's number one in my heart forever.Chi-Town Vike wrote: ↑Thu Nov 24, 2022 3:19 pmOver multiple Super bowl losses. Gotcha!!!! I'm a Grant fan, 3 NFC Conference championships. Accomplishments as a head coach, He's right up there with Dan Reeves. Both of them got close but no cigar.Maelstrom88 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:10 pm I'm sticking with Bud. It would take multiple super bowl victories.
Not a very compelling argument though. Your reply has an aura of uncertainty surrounding it.

I LOVED Bud Grant. Still do. He was one of the greatest coaches in the history of the NFL. Grant’s teams weren’t always flashy, but they were always tougher than hell. He gave the Vikings incredible respectability.Foreman44 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 6:58 pmChi-Town Vike wrote: ↑Thu Nov 24, 2022 3:19 pm Over multiple Super bowl losses. Gotcha!!!!

I am in agreement
Imo..l.hope KOC highly Surpasses Bud Grant as the vikings All time greatest head coach. Kudos toKOC and the job he has done
With this years team..He is not PassingGrant as greatest he even with a SB.. The ones even thinking of it at this point is wearing the purple shaded glasses.
It will take a few years to do that. Maybe he is on his way, but he has a long ways t9 go.
But I hope that he does succeed in doing so.c
Not really. I specifically said, what matters is getting to the playoffs and getting hot in the playoffs. There was a point last season where the rams did not look like a legitimate Super Bowl team. Got beat by SF both times, whooped once. And beat them when it mattered most. They didn’t win a game the entire month of November. But again, they got hot at the right time. As did the bengals. Going into that postseason, not a soul would’ve predicted the rams vs the bengals. Point is, anything can happen when you get to the playoffs. That was a proven fact last year. A 4 seed vs a 4 seed. Was anyone saying “yeah the rams will be in the Super Bowl” after they got beat 31-10 by SF? Or after they lost their 3rd game in a row in November?

Fair enough. You said fair enough for you. We both have waited a long time.Even survived the worst. Les Steckel.J. Kapp 11 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 9:50 pmI LOVED Bud Grant. Still do.

But I gotta say … if O’Connell wins a Super Bowl, he goes to No. 1 for me. I’ve been waiting a long, long time, as have you.
Not trying to start an argument here. Just stating how it is for me.
Yea i agree, Anything can happen on any given Sunday. Anything can happen in a playoff game too. But this is the key takeaway for Many Vikings fans As history has shown ok? When it comes to Vikings and playoffs all they do is loose. Either early on or in the end. Many times in disappointing fashion. Without reaching their goal. . and ! lolPondering Her Percy wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 10:09 pmNot really. I specifically said, what matters is getting to the playoffs and getting hot in the playoffs.

I had a rebuttal for you that took a minute to type. But, lost my connection and not doin all that over. But one key point i made was, You said "anything can happen in the playoffs just get there" Vikings history has shown the only the Vikings do in the playoffs is loose. Whether it be an early exit from the playoffs or, A later disappointing lose or heartbreaking defeat. What makes it worse is that the Vikings have an extensive playoff history during the SB era compared to most teams in the NFL.Pondering Her Percy wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 10:09 pmNot really.

I'm not really sure what our past history has anything to do with this season. Like sure, we've had some bad luck in the past but it has no bearing on the current season we are in. So I'm not sure how that's relevant to what I am discussing.Chi-Town Vike wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 8:21 pmI had a rebuttal for you that took a minute to type.

Never thought i'd see the day where tampa bay would win a superbowl before the Vikings. Much less 2 superbowls lol. Considering how horrible an organization they were. The bears won a superbowl and reached another in 2006 and they're a horrible organization. Sell tickets and merch is all they care about. The Bears don't even own their own Stadium lol. (Park district property) Then you have the SAINTS LOl they may have cheated but, they still got to keep the trophy. SHould i keep going? The Broncos lost 4 superbowls. Before they managed to win a couple. Then you have a a slough of random teams that haven't won a superbowl but they got there in modern times. ie.. Cardinals, falcons,chargers, etc...... All the Viking have done is lose lose lose and it's really sad sad sad considering how passionate their fanbase is.
History repeats itself. You could write an Encyclopedia on the History of Viking misfortune.Pondering Her Percy wrote: ↑Mon Nov 28, 2022 7:22 amChi-Town Vike wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 8:21 pm I had a rebuttal for you that took a minute to type.
