“”WINNINGEST COACH” DON SHULA, A DEDICATED CATHOLIC
DIES AT AGE 90 Aleteia / John burger / May 4, 2020
The Miami Dolphins’ record-setting leader was the product of a Jesuit education and later became a generous supporter of Catholic Schools. Don Shula, who died Monday at the age of 90, is being remembered as the “winningest coach in NFL history.” Shula spent much of his retirement working to make sure that youngsters at his Catholic parish in South Florida would be the winningest students. The Miami Dolphins, the team he coached from 1970 to 1995, issued a statement saying that Shula died “peacefully at his home.”
Fr. Juan Sosa, pastor of St. Joseph Parish on Miami Beach, told Aleteia that Shula attended daily Mass for years, including the early Mass on Sundays. When I arrived 10 years ago, I met him as one of our parishioners, unpretentious, very devoted and faithful to his commitment as a Christian and a Catholic,” Fr. Sosa said in a statement Monday. “Later on, he became more physically dependent and he came with his family to Christmas and Easter celebrations. He reiterated his characterization of him as “unpretentious.” “He did what God wanted him to do and fulfilled his vocation,” Fr. Sosa said. He said that when a documentary was being made about him and the Dolphins several years ago, “he mentioned that he once, as a young man, wanted to become a priest. His pastor was very influential in the discernment. Fr. John Dearden, of whom he always spoke with great respect and love,” went on to become a cardinal, as Archbishop of Detroit. But he went on to play football instead, beginning when he attended John Carroll University near Cleveland on a football scholarship. Born in Ohio, Donald Francis Shula grew up in a Catholic family of seven children, which included a set of triplets. In his 1995 book Everyone’s a Coach, Shula wrote the he “learned his faith from his parents” and they never missed Mass on Sunday. He attended St. Mary’s Catholic school in Painesville and graduated from John Carroll, where he became close to the Jesuits on the faculty there, according to a 2014 Catholic News Service article. Later, he endowed the Don Shula chair in philosophy at the university.
Shula played seven seasons as a defensive back in the NFL after being drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 1951. He also played for the Baltimore Colts and Washington Redskins. In 1963, Shula began coaching the Colts, becoming the youngest NFL coach at age 33. He led the Colts to Super Bowl III, though they lost to the New York Jets. Shula in 1970 signed on with Miami and ended up coaching 26 seasons before retiring after the 1995 season.
“Coach Shula, as everyone knew him, was simple, faithful to others, and a good servant,” Fr. Sosa told Aleteia. “He and Mary Anne, his wife, were instrumental in the final construction of St. Joseph’s School and have been very supportive of the scholarship granted every year to an 8th grader who may wish to pursue his/her high school education in an archdiocesan high school.” Fr. Sosa had told Catholic News Service in 2014 that the community knew the Shulas for their dedication to reconciliation and peace at various times in Miami’s history and for their commitment to Catholic schools.
News of Shula’s death on Monday was greeted with accolades in the sports world. “Don Shula was the patriarch of the Miami Dolphins for 50 years,” the Dolphins’ statement said. “He brought the winning edge to our franchise and put the Dolphins and the city of Miami in the national sports scene.”
“Today is a sad day,” Dolphins president Tom Garfinkel said in a statement. “Coach Shula was the rare man who exemplified true greatness in every aspect of his life. He will be so missed by so many but his legacy of character and excellence will endure.” Shula led the Dolphins to six Super Bowls, winning two of them in 1972 and 1973. The first victory came at the end of an unprecedented season with no losses for the Dolphins. It remains the league’s only perfect season. He won an NFL-record 347 games, including playoff games, said ESPN. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1997.
Shula was “a tactician and taskmaster who built some of the most fearsome defenses and explosive offenses in league history,” according to the New York Times’ Ken Belson. After his career, Shula started the Don Shula Foundation for Breast Cancer Research in memory of his first wife, Dorothy, who died from the disease.” PONDERINGS FROM FATHER BILL Roughly two decades ago I wrote a letter to legendary head coach Don Shula, most famous for his twenty-five years at the helm of the Miami Dolphins. His close attachment to the Catholic faith was quite impressive to me, even more than his success in the National Football League. He had a reputation of not being very responsive to autograph requests, but I took a gamble as a priest thinking he would respond to me. He did in a gracious way. I also have engaged numerous times with the family of Garo Yepremian, the late placekicker with the Dolphins under Shula. Garo was also a devout adherent of the Armenian Orthodox Church. His wife Maritza told me recently that he had considered the priesthood at one point, before God brought them together in marriage. I do not worship them as football players, but certainly respect their deep faith both now fulfilled in Heaven. Father Bill

Pope Francis’s Prayer to Mary During Coronavirus Pandemic O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm. You, Salvation of Your People, know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to you and to feasting after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection. Amen. Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.
