MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Don Shula, who racked up more victories than any other NFL coach and led the Miami Dolphins to the only perfect season in league history in 1972, is being laid to rest on Friday.
A funeral mass for Shula is taking place with burial to follow.
While the funeral is private, his family is hoping to hold a public memorial service, as are the Miami Dolphins. However, limitations on travel and large gatherings due to the coroanvirus pandemic is making arrangements difficult. The Dolphins will eventually hold a public memorial once the health crisis has subsided.
