PLUS THREE FROM PATRICK
My top three Minnesota pro coaches since 1961 (in order):
• Tom Kelly (Twins, 1986-2001). Won two World Series, stuck with it through low-budget losing and kick-started a return to winning in 2001.
• Bud Grant (Vikings, 1967-1983, 1985). Eye for talent plus consistency of approach equals success.
• Jacques Lemaire (Wild, 2000-2009). Brought credibility to our new NHL product from Game 1 to the end of his eight-season run.
