MIAMI — Don Shula’s legacy will take a hit soon enough. It is within sight now. Miami Dolphins fans old enough to hold such things dear should brace for it. Records are made to be broken and so forth. Time takes care of all that.
Within two or three seasons Patriots giant Bill Belichick almost certainly will surpass Shula for NFL career regular-season victories and overall wins including playoffs. Belichick already has a record six Super Bowl championships to Shula’s two.
Yet the reputation and legend of the Dolphins’ and Miami sports’ icon remains strong and immovable as a mountain.
