Don Shula, the NFL's winningest coach who led the Miami Dolphins to the league's only undefeated season, died yesterday. He was 90 and passed away peacefully at his home according to his family.
Shula won an NFL-record 347 games, including playoff games. He coached the Dolphins to the league's only undefeated season (17-0) in 1972, culminating in a 14-7 victory over the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl VII. He then led the Dolphins to another championship in 1973. In total, Shula coached in six Super Bowls, winning two of them with the Dolphins.
Shula had been an NFL head coach for 33 seasons, 26 with Miami. Only two of his Dolphins teams finished below .500 during those 26 seasons. He finished with an overall coaching record of 347-173-6 (73-26-4 with Baltimore).
