Grant’s life after coaching kept him around the Vikings, where he still has an office resembling the one he had decades ago. And he still tried to boost the team, like when he did the coin toss at a January playoff game, determined to intimidate the visiting Seahawks when he walked out in short sleeves despite a wind chill being around 30 degrees below zero. 

He was a symbol of "Minnesota grit," according to U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar who was at the Vikings-Seahawks game. And that grit extended to his financial life. He was a tough negotiator, even at the garage sales he hosted at his home for several years. He didn’t go for haggling, but he welcomed memorabilia seekers with an open door.
