Don Shula’s players carried him off the field and into immortality.
The date was Nov. 14, 1993. Shula had just won his 325th career game, passing George Halas for most in NFL history.
He went on to win 22 more before retiring as the most decorated coach.
That record will likely never fall.
But the argument for Shula as the best coach of all time? That could end on Sunday.
Because Bill Belichick is on the verge of making history all his own.
With a win against the Falcons on Sunday in Super Bowl 51, Belichick will have five Super Bowl rings.
