Question

Bud Grant passed away on Saturday. As a head coach, he took 10 teams to championship games – four Super Bowls with the Vikings and six Grey Cups with the Winnepeg Blue Bombers. Who is the only other head coach who’s taken teams in title games in both the NFL and CFL?

Answer

Marv Levy. Like Grant, Levy went 0-4 in Super Bowls. Grant went 4-2 in his Grey Cup appearances, while Leavy went 2-1 with the Montreal Alouttes in the ‘70s. Both men have been enshrined in both the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the CFL’s equivalent.
