Dan Marino on Bill Belichick's pursuit of Don Shula's all-time NFL wins record: 'I hope he don't get it'

MIAMI -- Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino has spent the past 20 years watching new-era players break his numerous records, but there's one Miami Dolphins family mark that he whole-heartedly wants to see preserved: Don Shula's NFL-best 328 wins (347 including playoffs).

Shula, who coached Marino for the first 13 years of the quarterback's 17-year Dolphins career, surpassed George Halas as the NFL's all-time winningest coach in 1993. Shula still held the record upon his death on May 4, 2020, at the age of 90.

But New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick is lurking in the wings with 280 wins, just 48 shy of matching Shula as the NFL's all-time winningest coach.
