Post-coaching Career
After coaching football, Grant became a less prominent public figure and focused his time on hunting and fishing and supporting environmental reforms. He has been a spokesperson opposing Native American hunting and fishing treaty rights in Minnesota. In 1993, Grant's efforts resulted in a death threat. In 2005, he spoke at a Capitol rally in Minnesota for the conservation of wetlands, wetland wildlife, and water. Grant addressed the five thousand supporters saying, "In this legislative session, we want to see some action. It’s more important than any stadium they could ever build in this state."
He continues to maintain his connections with the Vikings as a consultant for the team and maintains an office at the team's headquarters in Eden Prairie.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
