Shula was able to do what Landry refused to do in the 80's which was change. Shula evolved and rode Dan Marino for another +10 years. I respected Shula but I was always defending Landry with others because Shula, Halas, Walsh, and Belichick would be mentioned as the Mount Rushmore of NFL Head Coaches.

I would argue the only records for consecutive winning seasons, consecutive playoff appearances, most playoff appearances, most conference championship games, and Super Bowl appearances, were all Landry Records chased by Belichick. Landry invented the 4-3 Defense, invented the Flex Defense, multiple formation offense, innovated the Shotgun/Spread formation used today, zone and man coverage, etc.

But then some Dolphin fan or Cowboy hater would say "Only Don Shula can say he was perfect."

God bless the "original chin" and Perfect Head Coach...Don Shula.

When I was growing up the Fins were a contender for years it seemed. I guess having Dan Marino does that for a team. RIP.

I remember having to read his book on management about 30 or so years ago. He was a true leader with vision on what he wanted to accomplish & how to do it.

to be fair to Landry, the ownership change in 84 killed the dynasty.

the 85 team was running on fumes. The DL was old and the OL was jacked.
