In 2018 author Carlo DeVito put out the book, Don Shula: A Biography of the Winningest Coach in NFL History, where he wrote about the life of the Miami Dolphins, legendary head coach. When news of Shula’s passing broke earlier today I reached out to Carlo DeVito to have him join me on a very special DolphinsTalk.com Podcast as we remember the life and times of the great Dolphins coach. On this podcast, you will hear about how Don Shula almost became a priest and had a totally different life outside of football altogether, how when he coached Johnny Unitas with the Baltimore Colts he and Unitas didn’t get along and for 35 years+ years Unitas cursed Shula’s name and even wished him ill will up until the day he died, and about Shula leaving the Colts to come to the upstart Miami Dolphins. We also talk about the hot and cold relationship Shula had with Dolphins owner Joe Robbie and we dive into the story of Shula’s final year coaching the Dolphins and was he pushed out by Wayne Huizenga and Jimmy Johnson?
