Alabama Quote by Don Shula

“He wants to be his own man and be recognized…” quote by Don Shula — Download Open image

“He wants to be his own man and be recognized for what he's done. He's not asking for anything because of his name. That was a tough situation to go into at Alabama, but he probably wouldn't have been given the job if the situation would have been different.”
