Don Shula, the winningest coach in NFL history, leaves behind a local legacy. The Hall of Fame coach died Monday morning at the age of 90. The South Florida legend introduced the area’s only Shula’s Steak House 20 years ago in the Hilton Naples hotel. The award-winning restaurant, showcasing memorabilia from Shula’s perfect season coaching the Miami Dolphins, opened in February 2000. Also, Shula’s Bar & Grill has operated for more than eight years at the Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers. Founded more than 30 years ago, Shula’s Restaurant Group now has five brands which, like Shula himself, “strive for perfection, but settle for excellence.”
