Hall of Fame coach, Dolphins legend Don Shula dead at age 90
The winningest coach in NFL history, Don Shula, has died, according to a report this morning from the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson.
There's been no word on what caused the longtime Miami Dolphins head coach to die, but with any death during this day and age, many are wondering if it's COVID-19-related.
Shula led the Dolphins to two Super Bowl championships in back-to-back years in 1972 and 1973, and helped Miami dominate the AFC East. He spent seven years with the Baltimore Colts before moving on to take over the reins of the Dolphins.
In 33 seasons, he racked up an impressive 347-173-6 record and one perfect season while experiencing just two seasons below the .500 mark.
Shula was born on Jan. 4, 1930 in Grand River, Ohio, and played college football at John Carroll University in Cleveland before moving on to the Cleveland Browns in 1951.
While some coaches may come close to breaking Shula's wins record, no one will ever take over as the greatest coach in NFL history ... not even Bill Belichick.
Shula helped turn the Dolphins into a dominant franchise in the 1970s, '80s and '90s -- no other coach can say they're better.
The Dolphins confirmed his passing soon after the report came out, but didn't state the cause of death.
