RIP Don Shula

His record is in jeopardy with Bellicheck and Reid but both still have a ways to go, otherwise I think it has easily another decade or two.

 

Good memories Don.

 

Bellicheck has about 4 undefeated seasons in a row to get there, he’s a ways off.

 

I agree (actually worded the exact same way) but I think he’s still young enough to coach for another 10 years if he wanted. Vermeil was about 100.
Although, his team isn’t looking like the auto 10+ win team anymore.

Andy Reid is also close enough/young enough to possibly get there.

Outside those two, it will at least another 10 years before we’re even mentioning another coach with a shot.

 

Shula got me interested in the NFL. I remember a car commercial in the early ‘80s with him in it. Dolphins were my team for a couple decades. Rest In Peace, Don.

 

I’m not sure where Reid is at.

I just saw a graphic at work and we were talking about how Bill might not get there, depending on how they go forward without Brady of course.

Just puts into perspective how impressive Shula’s record is.

 

Total wins mean less than winning percentage. If you coach for 50 years and get more wins is that better?

Edit: number of games does matter obviously but even fisher if he came back is what ib the top 10 for wins?

 

That 84’ season was incredible. I’ve only seen it from a history standpoint but I still see that Marino season as the greatest single season by a QB.

 

I saw it as a sperm. My dad had translucent balls and never wore pants so I got to see the greatness when I was -4 years old
