Happy Birthday to the greatest coach in the history of the NFL.
The man whose first words to his new team were, "I'm about as subtle as a punch in the mouth" brought wins, class, and the league's only ever undefeated season to South Florida. The man who won with a short glasses-wearing QB, a no name defense, a monster fullback and an elite QB focused aerial assault proved he could build, excel, rebuild, and reinvent all while winning. His teams never missed a beat as his assistant coaches all prospered and flew the nest for better jobs.
You are the epitome of class and success. Thank you and Happy Birthday Donn Shula.
