    OK...I love Shula, but I am just wondering why a new statue was needed. What was wrong with the other statue at the stadium?

    So now there are 2 statues at the stadium for him? I know...he is one of the greatest ever and what he has done, and still does, for us and the game. I just don't get why there needed to be a new statue, when a perfectly good statue was already there.

    No, it's not. I think the new one has a couple players hoisting the coach on their shoulders after the perfect season. I'd love to see a picture of it if anyone can find (or take) one.

    The one I posted is the old one. The new one has him on the shoulders of players being carried off the field.

    You can never have too many statues of the great Shula.

    He also now has a NFL award named after him. I'm glad the league is finally giving him his props.

    I agree with who ever else said it. The stadium should forever be know as Don Shula Stadium.

    I think its great and a reminder of the perfect season. There is nothing more fitting depicting the tradition that is Miami Dolphin football and the pride that goes with it.
    I think one player holding him on his shoulder is #85 Nick Buoniconti, who is the other one?

    They named him and Nick in the vid. Maybe Al something. Or Jenkins?
    I cannot remember for sure.
