Tributes to Shula

In tribute to Don Shula, the Miami Dolphins have a new statue and address, and the NFL has a new award. The statue of Shula in front of the Dolphins’ new stadium offices was unveiled before Sunday’s Pro Bowl. The Dolphins announced the address of the offices will be 347 Shula Way, in recognition of his NFL-record 347 victories. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced the creation of an annual Coach Shula Award, which will honor a coach at any level who displays the integrity, achievement and positive impact on others exemplified by Shula. “I’m honored. I’m humbled,” Shula said. “I thank my players for the things we were able to accomplish.”
