Dolphins fans immediately mourned the loss of the hall of fame coach.
Don Shula was the face (and jaw) of a franchise throughout the 1970s, 80's and into the mid-1990s. He raised two Lombardi Trophies in Miami. And, oh yes, his team in 1972 was perfect — a feat never equaled before or since.

Don Shula was a titan. Two-time Super Bowl champion. Four-time Coach of the Year. Most regular season wins (328) and total wins (347) in NFL history. The Perfect Season. And an absolute legend in South Florida. RIP.

Desperate to read everything about Don Shula. Hear all the stories. The success of his teams were the thing that made Miami a real sports city that loved its Dolphins. Really bummed I didn't get to experience any of it. RIP

And that doesn’t do it justice.
