Broncos express condolences after death of Don Shula

Don Shula, the winningest coach in NFL history, died Monday morning. He was 90 years old.

Shula posted a win-loss-tie record of 328-156-6 during his 33-year career. He reached six Super Bowls in his career, winning two of them. He also won an NFL Championship in 1968 before Super Bowls existed.

Shula coached the Baltimore Colts (1963-1969) and Miami Dolphins (1970–1995). He and his wife, Dorothy, had five children, including two sons. Both of his sons — Dave and Mike — are coaches.

Mike currently serves as the Denver Broncos’ quarterbacks coach. He previously worked as the offensive coordinator for the New York Giants (2018–2019) and Carolina Panthers (2013–2017).

“We join the NFL community in expressing our sincere condolences to the family of legendary Pro Football Hall of Fame Coach Don Shula,” the Broncos wrote in a statement on Twitter. “Our hearts especially go out to his son, Broncos Quarterbacks Coach Mike Shula.”

Denver hired Mike Shula in January. He previously worked with offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur in New York.
