The story that this comes from is nearly a year old, but given that Bill Belichick is back in the Super Bowl. . .again. . .it’s worth taking a look at once again and talking about.
Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press has brought us the story of the time that Belichick almost became a part of the Minnesota Vikings’ coaching staff in the early 80s.
This came at a time when the Vikings were in serious flux. At the end of the 1983 season, legendary head coach Bud Grant said that he would not be returning to the Vikings’ sidelines.
