But many knew of Shula’s faith. My dad didn’t even mind when his New York Giants lost to Don Shula’s Miami Dolphins. (Well, he didn’t mind much.) My dad would always say Shula was a good man. “Goes to church every day,” he would say.
In an interview once, Shula said that if he hadn’t gone into coaching he might have entered the seminary.
