Shula was one of the great coaches. He was also a total dick.
I’m sure his family loved him. Sorry for them.
Shula was also the head coach of the Baltimore Colts & lost to Joe Namath’s NY Jets in Super Bowl III
in Baltimore he succeeded Weeb Ewbank as head coach. Ewbank was the head coach of the NY Jets when they defeated Baltimore.
What does Earl Morrall think?
90 is a pretty good run.
“Near the end of his career, Shula’s biography in the Dolphins’ media guide began with a quote from former NFL coach Bum Phillips:
“Don Shula can take his’n and beat you’n, and he could take you’n and beat his’n.” (h/t Rush)

Thankfully Don coached in an earlier era before the NFL gave itself a double-flush to insure they went down the drain with the other turds. Haven’t watched an NFL game for 3 or four years.
America has gone down the drain. Half the nation is carrying the other half.
Time to break the US up. We’ll be a lot happier. And safer. After all, we are at risk by more enemies from within than from the outside.
Hmm. No mention of Wuhan flu…
I grew up in Miami watching him and the ‘Fins. I didn’t go to as many games as I would have like to. My dad worked hard and his weekends were time for him to rest, but the old Orange Bowl always rocked when I was there. RIP Coach.
And beachmom there’s a nice & juicy 4-letter word I would use for you, but I’ll take the high road. For now.
Damn, Covid 1 Shula 0.
