Speaker 1: Coaching at whatever level is and playing at whatever level
Speaker 1: is a is a stressful undertaking. To have that success
Speaker 1: over that amount of time. It's a testament to him
Speaker 1: and it's fortitude. People always love to start and we
Speaker 1: always love to finish. We cant ready start school. We
Speaker 1: get excited. We don't start school. Were graduated. We're getting excited.
Speaker 1: We're gonna graduate. What does that sustainability in the middle
Speaker 1: between starting it and finishing it that most people don't have.
Speaker 1: So he is a measure above normal men. I feel
Speaker 1: good later on we're gonna do and what your student?
Speaker 1: This is Mr Perfect, the man who presides over the
Speaker 1: only unbeaten team in NFL history. Mr Perfect. Indeed, Don
Speaker 1: Shula has passed away at the age of nine, and
Speaker 1: we are doing things different on this edition of the
Speaker 1: Drive Time Podcast and owed to the greatest coach in
Speaker 1: National Football League history, the winning is coach in National
Speaker 1: Football League history, the winner of two Super Bowl championships
Speaker 1: with your Miami Dolphins, Don Shula, at the age of ninety,
Speaker 1: has passed away. We're gonna talk to Andy Cohen of
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins dot Com, Armando Salgaro of the Miami Herald,
Speaker 1: and give you some details on Don Shula's life, both
Speaker 1: on the football field and off of it. Let's just
Speaker 1: go ahead and start here with his on field football accomplishments. First,
Speaker 1: he was a ninth round draft pick back in nineteen
Speaker 1: fifty one. He played with the Browns, the Colts, and
Speaker 1: Washington up through the nineteen fifty seven season, then began
Speaker 1: his career as a coach, first with the Detroit Lions
Speaker 1: as the DC there from nineteen sixty to sixty two,
Speaker 1: took on the head coaching job with the Baltimore Colts,
Speaker 1: where he won an NFL championship in nineteen sixty eight,
Speaker 1: and then, of course we all know by now Miami
Speaker 1: Dolphins head coach from nineteen seventy through nineteen the two
Speaker 1: times Super Bowl champion, he was the four time a
Speaker 1: p NFL Coach of the Year, the Sports Illustrated Sportsman
Speaker 1: of the Year in ninete. He was on the NFL
Speaker 1: one Anniversary All Time Team, the NFL's nineteen seventies All
Speaker 1: Decade Team, and of course your Miami Dolphins on a
Speaker 1: roll and a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: He has the most regular season wins as a head
Speaker 1: coach with three eight, the most total wins as a
Speaker 1: head coach with three forty seven, and of course, was
Speaker 1: the only coach to ever go undefeated through an entire
Speaker 1: regular season and playoffs. He also coached thirty three seasons
Speaker 1: in the NFL and had just two seasons that were
Speaker 1: not winning seasons, so thirty one out of thirty three
Speaker 1: times he was a winning coach, part of a winning
Speaker 1: football team. And my goodness, you talked to anybody around
Speaker 1: the National Football League, ex players, ex coaches, ex media members,
Speaker 1: they all say the same things about Don Hula, both
Speaker 1: on and off the field. The integrity, the intensity, the discipline,
Speaker 1: but also a little bit of a sense of humor. Today,
Speaker 1: we're gonna detail two people that know Don Shula very well,
Speaker 1: and Andy Cohen and Armando Salgaro of Miami Dolphins dot
Speaker 1: com and the Miami Herald. Tomorrow on the podcast, we'll
Speaker 1: get some sound clips from Bob Greasy, from Larry Sunka,
Speaker 1: Mercury Morris, plenty of the alumni that played for coach Shula,
Speaker 1: and we'll talk to those guys about their memories of
Speaker 1: coach and the great life that he lived both as
Speaker 1: a football man, a family man, a husband and just
Speaker 1: a good friend, a good person, a guy that did
Speaker 1: things the right way every single time. Don Shula, Mr Football, himself,
Speaker 1: the patriarch of the Miami Dolphins organization, gone today May fourth,
Speaker 1: two thousand twenty. He was born January four, n thirty,
Speaker 1: at the age of ninety, has passed along. Let's go
Speaker 1: ahead now and get to the interviews. I had the
Speaker 1: pleasure of conducting with both Andy Cohen and Armando sal
Speaker 1: garow on Don Shula, the greatest coach in NFL history,
Speaker 1: And joining me now on the Drive Time podcast is
Speaker 1: a forty year veteran of the Miami Dolphins a columnist,
Speaker 1: Andy Cohen, Andy, thank you so much for joining me today, sir.
Speaker 1: Pleasure to be with you, Travis. Unfortunately we have to
Speaker 1: have you on today for some for some some umber news.
Speaker 1: Coach Shula passes away at the age of ninety. And
Speaker 1: who better to have a celebration of Sula's life and
Speaker 1: what his career in football, both on the field and
Speaker 1: off the field, and all the contributions he made to
Speaker 1: South Florida then yourself, and I want to just ask
Speaker 1: you off the top here, Andy, who was Don Shula
Speaker 1: to you? Wow? He was so many things to me.
Speaker 1: I when I first started to be the nineteen eighty
Speaker 1: he was the most intimidating figure you can imagine. All
Speaker 1: I did was see him from Afar and the success
Speaker 1: he had and the perfect season and here I come
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty uh, twenty four year old reporter um
Speaker 1: And I was intimidated at first, I have to admit.
Speaker 1: But as I grew to know Shula and developed a
Speaker 1: relationship with him, I began to understand that in order
Speaker 1: to gain his respect, you have to work at it,
Speaker 1: and you have to show him the type of person
Speaker 1: you are and reporter you are. And if he can
Speaker 1: give the respect of you as a journalist, which it
Speaker 1: took time for me, but he did, then he gains
Speaker 1: respect for you as a person, and he slowly begins
Speaker 1: letting you in as he gains respect. If he doesn't
Speaker 1: gain respect for you, nothing you can do will allow
Speaker 1: you into his world. Uh. And he'll let you know
Speaker 1: it every day by the scowl on his face or
Speaker 1: by the way he'll respond to your question. But as
Speaker 1: the years passed and the respect gained, I grew to
Speaker 1: not only admire and respect him, but love him. In
Speaker 1: many ways. He was just a classy person, a wonderful
Speaker 1: coach uh, somebody who cared deeply, somebody whose values were
Speaker 1: true to himself from family, mass and football UM. And
Speaker 1: now as I look back on it, I feel very
Speaker 1: fortunate to have gotten to know him. I never took
Speaker 1: the friendship I developed with him for granted, and Travis,
Speaker 1: over the last fifteen years, whenever I saw him, there
Speaker 1: was always a warm embrace, a warm handshake, and he'd
Speaker 1: always look at me and say, one of the good guys, uh.
Speaker 1: And I would really be thrilled by that. And I
Speaker 1: passed that on to my son's and it's something I'll
Speaker 1: truly never forget. Travis. We read a story earlier on
Speaker 1: on Monday Morning that Jeff Darlington mentioned a visit to
Speaker 1: Don Shula's house where there was pictures of Reagan and
Speaker 1: the Dalai Lama and all these world renowned figures. But
Speaker 1: Jeff said that Sula made him feel as if he
Speaker 1: was the most important person in the world at that time.
Speaker 1: And it sounds like you have a very similar experience
Speaker 1: with coach. You know, I really did. And he didn't
Speaker 1: know a lot of famous people, and you know, it
Speaker 1: was it was funny sometimes because he was so focused,
Speaker 1: and he was so he had such tunnel vision on
Speaker 1: football that a lot of things. A lot of times
Speaker 1: you wonder if whether he's losing what's happening in the
Speaker 1: world around owned him. And you know, and although he
Speaker 1: was old fashioned in many ways and really had trouble
Speaker 1: uh liking the new kind of music or liking the
Speaker 1: new kind of TV uh, he uh, he knew a
Speaker 1: lot of people, and he had the respect of a
Speaker 1: lot of people. And to sit in his office on
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoons and here and his secretary say, coach Shula,
Speaker 1: George Steinbrenner's on the line or coach Shula whatever. Uh,
Speaker 1: it was really remarkable to see the depth of the
Speaker 1: people he knew in the relationships that he had. And
Speaker 1: he certainly carries that with him every day in his
Speaker 1: life since he was such a prominent figure in South Florida.
Speaker 1: And that became the case because of his on field
Speaker 1: football acumen, a guy that you know, the first day
Speaker 1: of training camp, you have to run. How how far
Speaker 1: was it they had to run? Andy? Well, there was
Speaker 1: there was the twelve minute run and it was it
Speaker 1: was okay for a lot of the players, but the
Speaker 1: offensive and defensive lineman really had trouble with it. Fail
Speaker 1: it again. You have to keep running it until your
Speaker 1: try till you make it. And there were certain players
Speaker 1: that just couldn't do it, and Sula would let the
Speaker 1: unlike today's world, Sheila would let the writers on the
Speaker 1: field and we would stand in the big circle as
Speaker 1: the players ran around, and it was it was a
Speaker 1: remarkable thing. And the thing about Chula is when it
Speaker 1: was over, he ran the twelve minute run and we're
Speaker 1: and when sprints were over. Every day after practice and
Speaker 1: these sprints went on and on. Shula sprinted every day
Speaker 1: after practice. It was really it was really amazing because
Speaker 1: there was nothing. It was very little. I should say
Speaker 1: that he asked of his players that he wouldn't do
Speaker 1: himself from a conditioning standpoint. Yeah, that to me just
Speaker 1: embodies leadership, right, because you can't ask someone to do
Speaker 1: something that you're not willing to do yourself. And you
Speaker 1: have a certain level of respect for coach, and it
Speaker 1: seems like every single player that played for him shared
Speaker 1: that respect. Is that correct to say, you know? It's
Speaker 1: it's certainly it's certainly correct to say, you know, And
Speaker 1: as far as a reporter, covering a coach, Travis, he
Speaker 1: was the most accessible coach I have ever covered in
Speaker 1: my forty years. He would often have two, sometimes three
Speaker 1: practices a day, and he would make himself available at
Speaker 1: the end of every practice. Then then at lunchtime at
Speaker 1: same timas University, he used to come from the coaches table,
Speaker 1: sit down at the media lunch table. We ate with
Speaker 1: the coaches and the players during it. During those times,
Speaker 1: Travis and he would sit down with us and answer
Speaker 1: every question we had. Then he would stand up and
Speaker 1: do live TV and then he would do TV shots
Speaker 1: answer every question they had. Then if you needed more time,
Speaker 1: and then he'd walked back through the parking lot to
Speaker 1: his office with you to give you more time. It
Speaker 1: was incredible how he understood the job we had and
Speaker 1: what we needed to do to do it. Uh And
Speaker 1: from that story, from that standpoint, I really didn't realize
Speaker 1: how unusual he was until he left, and then you
Speaker 1: started other coaches covering other coaches, and then you get
Speaker 1: today's world where there really is very very limited availability. Uh.
Speaker 1: So he was remarkable not only to his players, Travis,
Speaker 1: but to the media as well. Yeah, I was gonna
Speaker 1: say it sounds like you know, a man that's so
Speaker 1: well revered on the football field but also off of
Speaker 1: it as well, and the way he kind of cultivates
Speaker 1: and and nurtures those those relationships certainly was special. Andy.
Speaker 1: We really appreciate your time today and go check out
Speaker 1: Andy's piece on Miami Dolphins dot com. Tons of stories
Speaker 1: with Don Shulan himself. You knew the man for so
Speaker 1: many years, Andy, We really appreciate it. Gravis, always a pleasure.
Speaker 1: So from one long time vet and Andy Cohen to
Speaker 1: another on the beat from the Palm Beach Post and
Speaker 1: now the Miami Heral, let's go ahead and talk to
Speaker 1: Armando sal Garrol on Coach Shula and joining me now
Speaker 1: on the Drivetime podcast is longtime Miami Dolphins columnists from
Speaker 1: the Miami Herald. He is Armando sal Garrol. Armando, how
Speaker 1: you doing today, sir? Well? Try was. It's not a
Speaker 1: great day, but all things considered, I guess we're all right.
Speaker 1: We are moving forward now as coach Shula, at the
Speaker 1: age of ninety, has passed on, but he left us
Speaker 1: a great legacy and plenty of great stories, and Armando,
Speaker 1: you were They're up close and personal for much of
Speaker 1: that earlier in your career, and I just want to
Speaker 1: get a sense of who was coach Shula to you, Wow,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a good question, Travis. So to me,
Speaker 1: he was a guy that, you know, being a resident
Speaker 1: of Miami from childhood. Um, I grew up watching him
Speaker 1: on television. I grew up watching him raised Lombardi trophies
Speaker 1: and um, you know, get on referees on the sideline
Speaker 1: and congratulate his players. I grew up wanting to, you know,
Speaker 1: think that which was twelve blocks from my house was
Speaker 1: kind of his house, and so we were in the
Speaker 1: same neighborhood. And then all of a sudden, I'm working for, um,
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of newspapers down here, first the
Speaker 1: Palm Beach Posts and then the Miami Herald, and lo
Speaker 1: and behold, I'm interviewing Don Shula and covering Don Shula.
Speaker 1: And you know, I was in my twenties at the time,
Speaker 1: and it was quickly a education in how to have
Speaker 1: your facts right, how to be on your game right away,
Speaker 1: and how to have respect and be respected because that's
Speaker 1: how he worked. He respected everyone who you know, deserved
Speaker 1: it and gave him respect back. And that's why I
Speaker 1: think we've got along pretty good. And it was definitely
Speaker 1: a different era of media and of covering sports back
Speaker 1: in those days where there was not so many restrictions around,
Speaker 1: you know, certain coach and player availability, so you kind
Speaker 1: of developed a closer relationship with the coach, isn't the players.
Speaker 1: What was it like for you personally with coach Ula? Yeah,
Speaker 1: So the way it would work once the Dolphins moved
Speaker 1: from St. Thomas to Davey, Uh well, let me let
Speaker 1: me back up at St. Thomas. You gotta understand, the
Speaker 1: lunch hall was open to the media and we would
Speaker 1: as reporters eat every day and then at one point
Speaker 1: Shula would get up and come over to the writer's
Speaker 1: table and just talk with the writers. And sometimes when
Speaker 1: you needed something extra, you just walked back to his
Speaker 1: office with Shula. I remember walking back with him and
Speaker 1: him telling me, Yeah, we've got this linebacker that no
Speaker 1: one knows about that we're really excited about. You're gonna
Speaker 1: see him do some good things here. Uh this year
Speaker 1: or next year. That guy's name was Brian cox Um.
Speaker 1: He had fourteen and a half sacks I think his
Speaker 1: first or second year, So Sula knew that he had
Speaker 1: something special brewing. Once we were in Davy. He liked
Speaker 1: to run every day with Stuart Weinstein, who was this
Speaker 1: security guy, and I knew that every day at noon
Speaker 1: he was gonna go for his run. So I would
Speaker 1: come up to Davy and they had to steal bench
Speaker 1: just outside the locker room, and I would sit myself
Speaker 1: at the bench. Uh. There was really no gated security
Speaker 1: or anything like that or the cameras that they got. Now.
Speaker 1: I would sit there and after Shula's run, he would
Speaker 1: come over and sit down and we talked football and
Speaker 1: he would tell me what he was thinking about the team,
Speaker 1: and I would shut up. That's how the relationship went. Uh.
Speaker 1: So you know, Don Hula is talking, I think I'll
Speaker 1: just be quiet, um. And he appreciated that because I
Speaker 1: recognized that, Mmm, do I know more than him or
Speaker 1: does he know more than me? I think he knows
Speaker 1: more than me. I just I'm gonna write um. And
Speaker 1: that's how it went. And it was great because you
Speaker 1: get to know a lot about the Miami Dolphins when
Speaker 1: Don Shula is comfortable and sweaty and he just came
Speaker 1: off the field after a forty minute run. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: probably the best time to get ahold from there when
Speaker 1: maybe he said as most honest, but I am curious
Speaker 1: to ask you because we talked about how, you know,
Speaker 1: modern day football and what it was back then has
Speaker 1: changed quite a bit. But Shula was kind of the
Speaker 1: face of the organization and kind of the guy you
Speaker 1: mentioned Brian Cox and the evaluation and getting a guy
Speaker 1: like that ready to play at such a young age.
Speaker 1: He was kind of the entire operation, wasn't he He
Speaker 1: was the first word and the final word. And you know,
Speaker 1: obviously he had people that helped them. I think that
Speaker 1: the quality of those people had a lot to do
Speaker 1: with what kind of success he had on the field. Obviously,
Speaker 1: when it was amazing great quality, like when Joe Thomas
Speaker 1: and Bobby Bethard were we're, you know, putting Pro Bowl
Speaker 1: players on the roster, Shulo was taking Pro Bowl players
Speaker 1: and turning him into Hall of famers. When others would
Speaker 1: get alid good players often turned them into Pro Bowl players.
Speaker 1: But you know, it was a matter of that guy,
Speaker 1: the talent. He he was gonna win big, and he
Speaker 1: knew how to do it. He knew he knew how
Speaker 1: to turn um negatives into positive and at the very
Speaker 1: least high the negatives, and that was that was one
Speaker 1: of his talents. And he also wasn't too you know,
Speaker 1: egotistical about how he got things done. We have to remember, Travis,
Speaker 1: that Don Shula won back to back Super Bowls doing
Speaker 1: what running the football and playing great defense with a
Speaker 1: no name defense. Years later, this guy with you know,
Speaker 1: floppy hair happened along and he could throw the football
Speaker 1: a little bit. Don Shula had been to the to
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl the year before, and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden he sees David Woodley on the practice field
Speaker 1: and he's got Dan Marino on the practice field. And
Speaker 1: it wasn't long before Dan Marino was throwing the football.
Speaker 1: The Miami Dolphins were throwing the football, and they ushered
Speaker 1: in a new era really in the NFL, of throwing
Speaker 1: the football. And that's what the NFL has developed into today.
Speaker 1: You know, forty eight touchdown passes in a year. Forty
Speaker 1: four touchdown passes in a year's still pretty great today,
Speaker 1: although not the record back then, it was unheard of.
Speaker 1: It was spectacular. And the fact that the Dolphins were
Speaker 1: the team that did that, the running, the running Dolphins,
Speaker 1: the three yards and a cloud of dust Dolphins. They're
Speaker 1: doing this. Yeah, that was Don Shula deciding this is
Speaker 1: what I got, this is what we're gonna go with.
Speaker 1: I think the second most touchdown passes that year Marino
Speaker 1: had forty eight was thirty two, if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 1: And I think that's the perfect measure of what kind
Speaker 1: of coach he was. Armando was a guy that could
Speaker 1: take in his and beat yours or whatever. The famous
Speaker 1: quote was. I know I butchered it just now, but
Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's the sense you get from people
Speaker 1: to talk about coach pretty much unanimously. I had not
Speaker 1: more on this podcast not that long ago, and he
Speaker 1: talked about beating the Bears in because they attacked the
Speaker 1: forty six defense in a way that was different than
Speaker 1: anybody else had attacked it before that. So I'm curious
Speaker 1: to get your sense because you cover so many different
Speaker 1: characters and so many different coaches and players over the years, Armando,
Speaker 1: what was the general consensus from people you've talked to
Speaker 1: the new coach about what kind of person he was
Speaker 1: and what kind of coach he was. Integrity. That's the
Speaker 1: one word that pops up over and over and over,
Speaker 1: and that was the one thing that don Chula strive
Speaker 1: for right up there with success and winning, because to him,
Speaker 1: it wasn't enough to win. It had to be you
Speaker 1: have to win with integrity. You have to win and
Speaker 1: feel good about yourself as a person when you've done it.
Speaker 1: You're not going to cheat, You're not going to take
Speaker 1: advantage of loopholes. You're not going to do things that
Speaker 1: will come I can be smirch you and soil your reputation.
Speaker 1: You're going to do it with class. You're going to
Speaker 1: do it so that it holds up over history and
Speaker 1: when the historians look back, they say, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: that was amazing and it was done in an amazing way.
Speaker 1: And that's what don Shula really was about, and not
Speaker 1: just by the way on the football field. I think
Speaker 1: that's that's preached to his kids. That was what he
Speaker 1: was about his entire life. He wanted to do things
Speaker 1: in that people would remember him. And now we're going
Speaker 1: to start remembering him, obviously because he's past, but they
Speaker 1: wanted he wanted that they remember him the right way.
Speaker 1: We're gonna remember a lot of coaches and players in
Speaker 1: NFL history. Some of those have histories that you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: but you understand what I'm saying. It's the yeah, but
Speaker 1: they did this other thing when you're talking about Don Shula, Um,
Speaker 1: I don't think there are any. Yeah, but certainly not
Speaker 1: especially we talk about the level of integrity and intensity
Speaker 1: that he coached with. And speaking of the intensity, Armando,
Speaker 1: I'd be remissed if I didn't ask you this on
Speaker 1: the way out. I know you're a great Joe Green
Speaker 1: story about standing up to Joe Green, I gotta ask you,
Speaker 1: do you have any run ins with coach that might
Speaker 1: get a little bit of a chuckle out of us? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: So the Joe Green story was Joe Green and I
Speaker 1: are going back and forth and you know whatever, Joe Green,
Speaker 1: don Shula. You don't stand up to Don Shula, Okay.
Speaker 1: And so that was a little different. And Joe Green,
Speaker 1: by the way, is way bigger and way more intimidating
Speaker 1: physically than Don Shula. But the reputation, the reputation of
Speaker 1: Don Shula supersedes everything. And so one time I wrote
Speaker 1: a story about the dolphins on the road, and part
Speaker 1: of that story included a passage of what the dolphins
Speaker 1: put in Don Shula sweet, um, you know for the
Speaker 1: night that he is there, and it included the fact
Speaker 1: that he gets a case of beer put in his
Speaker 1: sweet refrigerator for his you know, assistance or any visitors
Speaker 1: that might come around. And so I wrote it no
Speaker 1: big deal, right, I mean, are you offended that Don
Speaker 1: Shula had beard as refrigerator. I don't know that anyone
Speaker 1: really would be yet Don Shula I show up to
Speaker 1: one of those uh noon run things and I'm sitting
Speaker 1: there and he storms over and he's like, you made
Speaker 1: me look like a leap in the paper today, and
Speaker 1: I'm like what, And and there was about three minutes
Speaker 1: of dressing down by Don Shula because in his opinion,
Speaker 1: I had made him look like he was like some
Speaker 1: sort of alcoholic, which obviously he was not. And so
Speaker 1: uh that that conversation and included me doing my best
Speaker 1: Ralph krammed them impersonation you're too young. But there was
Speaker 1: a show called The Honeymooners and the main guy, Jackie
Speaker 1: Gleeson was Ralph Kramdon And when he didn't have an
Speaker 1: answer for something, it was Hamana Hama, hamamama, hamana. That
Speaker 1: was his answer. And that was Armando going, but coach,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hammna Hamma hammna hana how gonna um? So
Speaker 1: don Shula you know, took me out that day, um
Speaker 1: and undressed me and left me on the field right
Speaker 1: there crying, and uh. You know the funny thing about
Speaker 1: what it is. The next day he he calls and
Speaker 1: he goes, hey, and I'm like, oh, pit, here we
Speaker 1: go again. And I'm like yes, and he goes, I'm
Speaker 1: running at one today, not noon. Okay, I'll be there, okay, click,
Speaker 1: And you know, I thought he was gonna be still
Speaker 1: be angry, and he wasn't. And it was cool always
Speaker 1: well because he had gotten his say, he had made
Speaker 1: his point and we're moving on. And that just de
Speaker 1: finds the type of leadership that he exuded every day, right.
Speaker 1: It defined the type of person that he was, that's
Speaker 1: for sure, beyond football. And that's yeah, that that's that's
Speaker 1: the best part about it, aren't there? Armando. We really
Speaker 1: appreciate your time. You guys know who he is. Armando
Speaker 1: sell Girrel of the Miami Herald. Armando, thank you for
Speaker 1: your time today, my pleasure, and away he goes. Some
Speaker 1: fantastic stories there from Andy and Armando alike. Let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and leave this podcast on the greatest quote. I
Speaker 1: think that describes Don Shula and what you heard both
Speaker 1: Armando and Andy talked about in terms of how he
Speaker 1: was able to adapt and adjust on the fly in
Speaker 1: an era where teams and coaches just didn't do that.
Speaker 1: This from bum Phillips who said, quote he can take
Speaker 1: his in and beat Yourn, and take Yourn and beat
Speaker 1: his and end quote. That's just about it. Because Sula
Speaker 1: took his roster, took his team, and evolved it into
Speaker 1: what the game asked for, into what his personnel asked for.
Speaker 1: And that's how you wind up. The winning is coach
Speaker 1: in NFL history, Don Shula nineteen thirty to twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Don Shula, he will be missed, fins up coach
