Don Shula, a two-time Super Bowl champion who won more games than any other coach in NFL history, died Monday morning, the Miami Dolphins announced. He was 90.
"Don Shula was the patriarch of the Miami Dolphins for 50 years," the team said in a statement (https://twitter.com/MiamiDolphins/status/1257313831849611264). "He brought the winning edge to our franchise and put the Dolphins and the city of Miami in the national sports scene. Our deepest thoughts and prayers go out to Mary Anne along with his children Dave, Donna, Sharon, Anne and Mike."
A native of a small town in Ohio who became a coaching legend in South Florida, Shula spent more than four decades in the NFL, in one capacity or another. He played defensive back for three teams but will be best remembered as a coach — most notably with the Dolphins, whom he led to a pair of Super Bowl titles and a historic undefeated season in 1972.
