About Don Shula, Hall of Famer

Don Shula was an American football defensive back and coach who became the NFL's winningest head coach with 347 career victories. He began his head coaching career with the Baltimore Colts in 1963 at just 33 years old, the youngest coach in the league at that time. Shula then moved to the Miami Dolphins, where he spent 26 seasons and led the team to back-to-back Super Bowl championships in 1972 and 1973. His 1972 season with Miami stands as the only perfect season in NFL history. Shula appeared in six Super Bowls across his career and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1997.

Did you know? Shula forged his parents' signatures to join his high school football team after an assistant coach spotted him in gym class, since his mother had initially forbidden him from playing football.
