Bud Grant has seen some great Minnesota Vikings teams in his life, especially when he was at the helm of the team as their head coach, but he is having a blast with this season and what the current iteration is doing.

The coaching great is pulling extremely hard for the team to get it done this year.

"Of course, I’m enjoying it," Grant said, via Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press. "I've got an office with the Vikings. I’m there every day. I know those people. I’m certainly excited that we got a shot at it. That’s all you can do, and the ball’s got to bounce right.

“Absolutely, it’d be exciting. My family, we’ve grown up with the Vikings. This is my 50th year with the Vikings. I’m pulling as hard as anybody for them.’’

Grant was with the Vikings from 1967-83 and 1985 as the team's head coach and won the franchise's only championship in 1969. The team has yet to win a Super Bowl, but one of their legends will be rooting hard for them to do it in their home stadium.
