MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The winningest head coach in National Football League history and a South Florida icon for half a century, Don Shula has passed away at the age of 90.
Shula leaves behind his wife, Mary Anne, and five children; Dave, Donna, Sharon, Anne and Mike.
Shula’s children were from an earlier marriage to his first wife, Dorothy, who died of breast cancer in 1991.
Born in Grand River, Ohio in 1930, football came naturally to Shula from a young age.
His parents initially forbade him from playing due to the risk of injury, with Shula even forging his parents’ signatures on a permission slip to play in high school.
