JUPITER (CBSMiami) – From his home in Jupiter, Dave Shula can now slowly exhale after going through an emotional whirlwind.
His famous dad, Don Shula, born during the Great depression, died during a pandemic and was buried after a private service last Friday.
“The fact that it was just family, in the church, four generations of Shulas, made it very special,” he said.
Dave, the older of the two Shula sons, grew from being the sandy-haired kid at his dad’s side to his apprentice and then adversary.
As head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals, Dave lost to his dad twice.
