After reading today's article in the local fish wrapper (only one I can get) and setting up the local dumbing done station's documentary on him to record, I had to ask this of you.
Obviously, you know where I stand.
Just in case you do not, YES!!!
If trophies (which I disagree with and should have names of the creators of true beginnings of FootBall, back in 1900)* are going to have the great HCes' names on them, then The Super Bowl trophy should have the only The HC with-
a PERFECT FRANCHISE (FROM FIRST R-S Game OF THE NFL '1972-'1973 year TO THE S B OF THE NFL '1972-'1973 year)**, the most Regular-Season victories (347), Top 5 in:
winning percentage (.678),
NFL in both Championship & S B areas Playoffs Victories (36 .528- second biggest negative & averaged 1.6-wins per NFL playoffs),
Championships coached in (6)
&
has two-NFL S Bs (2-4 .334- biggest negative),
in THE HISTORY OF ALL PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL & ALL DONE IN THE NFL (TOUGHEST FOOTBALL ORGANIZATION EVER).
Coach in three-straight NFL Super Bowls (2-1 .666 & 44-6 .888),
4 out of 6-NFL S Bs ('68-'69 - '73-'74)
&
From '70-'71 - '74-'75 (The NFL Playoffs Span): 55-15 .790 & Playoffs 8-3 .730
*- I just want to stop hearing the BLANKING non-sense about other head coaches being the greatest ever, even, some cases never mentioning Don 'Greatest Head Coach To Ever Touch A FootBall Field' Shula and referring to one of the other great HCes as The Perfect HC (from I found out it will be in the next issue of SI).
**- If was not as big a deal, as the media always communicates that it to us that is not (because there is no one-player or couple of players that showed they were leaps & bounds better than the other '72-'73 Miami Dolphins Players & The '72-'73 NFL = ANOTHER WORDS INDIVIDUALISM), than it would have done multiple times, let alone twice, by now.

Well, if his nickname is greatest head coach to ever touch a football field, then I say he's only slightly underrated.

What are you talking about? Bill Walsh was a far superior coach and the offensive styles proved it. Don Shula failed to adapt to the game, running a vertical offense with poor pieces for Dan Marino for years upon years. Meanwhile, Bill Walsh was 10-12 years ahead of the NFL with his WC, short-route, high efficiency passing game. The current NFL offenses, utilizing a short to intermediate passing game, with high efficiency passes, are all derivative and owe their start back to Walsh.
Bill Belichick also is 4x the coach Shula could have ever been.
This all coming from the world's biggest Miami Dolphin fan.

I don't know if he is the best ever, but he is surely among the top 5.
He was a he!! of a coach.Bill Parcells: "You are what your record says you are."

Why do you have to throw the "Greatest to ever __________ a football ________" in everything? You did it with Marino in the other thread.

Yes, that is true; I do for those two, in every communication. For two-reasons, they are always put at least second-place of the greatest at their NFL positions; and it is just flat out wrong, in my opinion. Originally Posted by manbearchef

Shula never built Marino defense. Those Dolphins defenses couldn't even slow down opponents for the longest time. He's a legend but he really couldn't have done less to build Marino a defense or physical team.

This is going to nitpicky, but he did build them, he was The HC. Originally Posted by NYSPORTS98

I forgot during Jimmy 'Draft Genius & Don 'Greatest HC To Ever Touch A FootBall Field' Shula Back Stabber' Johnson years there was Ex-UCLA HB Kareem Adula Jabbar; he was a NFL quality HB for a season or two. Originally Posted by GreatWhiteShark

Shula to me is like the Phil Jackson of the NFL. He got to coach Johnny Unitas, a man who completely changed the way the quarterback position was played and whose influences are still prominent today, and Dan Marino, possibly the most gifted, talented quarterback of all time. He was bound for success.
He was obviously a good coach. But when you have a couple of the greatest quarterbacks of all time at your disposal, your win total is going to inflate a bit.Sometimes I say things that make me look dumb. Then I login to PSD and read things like this.
Then I don't feel so dumb. Originally Posted by JoeBlessU
