You don't know a lot about it util it happens. When I was 14-year-old freshman in high school, I told my football coach Lorin Miller my goal is to play professional football and coach professional football with coach Shula with the Miami Dolphins. It's unbelievable those dreams came true. Lennie Wilkens, Seattle coach. Coach Shula invited us for lunch.  Coach Miller said the best young football coach in the NFL was Don Shula of the Miami Dolphins. Coach Miller was the one who fed into what I accomplished. Lorin believed in me. He still can't believe a 14-year-old youngster could call his lifetime goals like that. 5-6, 110 pounds fr. 5-11, 180 pounds.
