The legendary Miami Dolphins coach died earlier this morning:

Shula holds a number of NFL records. He has 328 wins, which is the most regular season victories for a head coach. Tack on 19 playoff wins and it gives him 347 all-time wins, which is also a record. He’s also the only coach to have an undefeated year entirely, going 17-0 in 1972 with a team that included Earl Morrall, Larry Csonka, Mercury Morris, Bill Stanfill, Dick Anderson, and Paul Warfield.

He coached the Lions and Colts before spending 25 years in Miami, and only had two losing seasons in a 33-year coaching career. That’s insanity. His teams played in six Super Bowls and he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1997.

RIP Don Shula. Here’s a good documentary if you wanna go down a quarantine rabbit hole:
