MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The outpouring of well wishes for Miami Dolphins legendary head coach Don Shula is not unexpected.
His former players, fiercely loyal for decades, remembered their late coach who died at the age of 90 on Monday.
“Throughout my 13 years of playing for him, and then throughout my life, he’s always been there,” said wide receiver Nat Moore. “He’s that kind of guy… the guy that somehow got more out of you than you had to give.”
“The relationship that you were able to build with one of the most iconic figures in all of sports, forget football, to know you had that relationship with somebody like that is going to stay with me the rest of my life,” said linebacker Kim Bokamper.
