Don Shula has the protection of an undefeated season — so it’s hard to tell the Hall of Fame coach to just go sit down somewhere.
Shula will be linked to every Hall of Fame caliber head coach — including Bill Belichick. Don was asked about the Wells Reports and Deflategate.
He pulled no punches.
“Our record in those 50 years was always done with a lot of class, a lot of dignity, a lot of doing it the right way,” Shula said in his speech, via ESPN. “We didn’t deflate any balls.”
“I coached for 33 years and I’ve never once in that 33-year period of time ever even talked or heard anyone talk about the air in the football,” Shula said. “So I’m not going to start talking about the air in the football.”
Shula has referenced Belichick as a “cheater’ before, so we know the two won’t be dining together anytime sooner.
