Even though I never personally met Coach Shula that quote was on the wall above the doors before you walked out of the facility in Miami. Through the best and worse days it reminded me to never settle for less than my best. Thanks coach

Don Shula an inner-circle legend, a titan of his sport and his town. Always incredibly gracious with his time. Beloved by his players in a truly unusual way. Incredible life and career.

Don Shula was a man of great faith and family. Many things will be said today about his football accolades and deservedly so. But I will always remember the stories of how he would go to Mass daily to pray for his first wife Dorothy when she was sick. Rest In Peace, Coach. pic.twitter.com/IcxsVch1Am

Holy cow. RIP Don Shula. One of the coaching icons that just seemed to me like he’d be immortal. He passes away still comfortably positioned as the winningest coach in #NFL history, with 347 victories (including playoffs). For perspective, #Patriots’ Bill Belichick is at 304. https://t.co/eSqIsvhIpz

What a man and what a life. Coach Shula was one of the greatest men I ever met. He was always kind with his time and a word of advice over all of the years getting to meet and talk to him. Players loved him and loved playing for him. Rest In Peace Coach.

Coached 33 years in the NFL.
31 winning records. TWO losing records.
We lost the greatest coach in the NFL. I lost a friend. A sad day, but the memory of Don Shula's greatness as a coach and a person will never fade.
