jrb12711 Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 RIP. Certainly wonder if his wins record will be broken. Of course, adding a game to the schedule is an interesting wrinkle. Bill B. is 55 away at 68 years old. Seems like five 11 win seasons isn't out of the question for a team like New England, but of course we all know that dynasty may be over. I could easily see Bill riding into the sunset here soon. Next up on the active list is Reid (age 62) at 207. Approximately 12ish 10 win seasons away. Chiefs certainly seem to be set up at the QB position to have some good teams over the next decade. No one really makes sense from there on the active list.

Orion Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 That was a guy who knew how to coach the players that he had. When he had Bob Griese, Larry Csonka, Jim Kick and Mercury Morris, he ran the ball down your throat. When he had Dan Marino, Mark Duper and Mark Clayton, he passed you to death. A great coach. God bless his soul. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Bone Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Man, this one stings. I have always respected and liked Coach Shula, probably more than any coach, in any sport in my lifetime. On top of that, he and my dad could be brothers. RIP Coach Shula. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So did Bum Phillips, with the famous line about Shula. He can take his'n and beat your'n, and then he can turn around and take your'n and beat his'n. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Another great one gone... Still the all-time win leader. Significant coaching tree. But we got him in '64... thanks for that, Don. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God bless his soul. Browns should have won that playoff game in Miami, 1972. 5 INTs and a blocked punt, somehow they led 14-13 in the 4th Q. Then, well....

Dutch Oven Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 I believe he also almost was part of an ownership group for the expansion Browns. I can't remember who the main money man was, but I think they finished second to Lerner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
