ISU hires Dan Shula, grandson of Hall of Fame coach Don Shula

NORMAL, Ill. - Illinois State has hired the grandson of Hall of Famer Don Shula as an offensive assistant.

Dan Shula is coming off a two-year graduate assistants role at Miami after spending the 2006 season at Alabama as a graduate assistant coach.

Shula's father, David Shula, was head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals from 1992-96.

Dan Shula appeared in 15 games over three seasons as a quarterback at Dartmouth and earned a bachelor's degree in psychology in 2006.

Illinois State head coach Brock Spack says Shula brings a cerebral approach to the game and will help the team's recruiting efforts.
