Best remembered for his quick release and powerful arm, Marino helped the Dolphins become consistent postseason contenders, leading them to the playoffs ten times and one Super Bowl appearance inXIX,although a title victory ultimately eluded him during his career. Marino is considered by many to be one of the greatest players to never win a Super Bowl[6][7][8][9]and has the most career victories of quarterbacks not to win a title at 155.

A nine-time Pro Bowl selection, six-time first (3) or second (3) teamAll-Pro,and All-AFC six times, Marino was votedNFL Rookie of the YearbySporting News.The following season in 1984, Marino was theNFL Most Valuable Player(MVP), when he set single-season records of 5,084 passing yards, 48 touchdown passes, nine 300-yard passing games, and four 400-yard passing games. He was voted the 1994NFL Comeback Player of the Year,and the 1998NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year.At the time of his retirement, Marino held more than 40 NFL single-season and career passing records (many of which have since been surpassed), including career passing attempts (8,358), completions (4,967), passing yards (61,361), and touchdown passes (420). Marino was the first quarterback in NFL history to reach5,000 yards passing in a season(1984); 50,000 and 60,000 career passing yards respectively, and also the first quarterback to reach 40-plus touchdown passes in a season (48 in 1984), and 400 career touchdown passes.

Marino was enshrined into theMiami Dolphins Honor Rollimmediately after his retirement in 2000, inducted into theCollege Football Hall of Famein 2003, inducted into thePro Football Hall of Famein 2005 in his first year of eligibility, and is currently one of only three former Miami Dolphins to have his jersey number retired. In 2019, Marino was named to theNFL 100th Anniversary All-Time Teamas one of the 10 greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, as determined by a panel of coaches and media members.[10]

Early life

edit

Born and raised inPittsburgh,Pennsylvania,Marino is ofItalianandPolishancestry. The oldest child of Daniel and Veronica (Kolczynski) Marino, he has two younger sisters, Cindi and Debbie.[11][12]His father delivered newspapers for thePittsburgh Post-Gazette,[11]and Marino grew up on Parkview Avenue in theSouth Oaklandneighborhood.[13]He attended St. Regis Catholic Elementary School and graduated fromCentral Catholic High Schoolin 1979, where he starred inbaseballfor the Vikings and wonParadeAll-Americanhonors infootball.In the1979 Major League Baseball draft,Marino was selected in the fourth round by theKansas City Royals,[14]but decided to play college football instead.[15]

College career

edit
University of Pittsburghfreshman (1979)

Marino attended theUniversity of Pittsburgh,and played for the university'sPittsburgh Panthers footballteam from 1979 to 1982. As a freshman in1979,Marino led the Panthers in a 24–17 triumph overWest Virginiain theBackyard Brawland a 29−14 win over longtime rivalPenn State.Pitt's1980 Marino-led teamfinished No. 2 in the season-ending rankings (The New York Timescomputer poll rated Pitt as No. 1). Marino was part of an elite team during those two years that included two other future NFL Hall of Fame players: Defensive linemanRickey Jacksonand centerRuss Grimm,as well as future Pro Bowl linebackerHugh Greenand future Pro Bowl guardMark May.In 1980, Pitt added future NFL playersBill Maas,Dwight Collins,andTim Lewis,while their offensive line got a third future Pro Bowl player: tackleJimbo Covert."There were games when my uniform never got dirty," Marino once remarked. "There were games when I never hit the ground. That’s incredible."[16]

Following the1981 regular season,Marino led the Panthers, who had been ranked No. 1 most of the season, to a last-minute triumph over the No. 7Georgia Bulldogsin the1982 Sugar Bowlby throwing a game-winning pass to tight end John Brown with less than a minute remaining in the game. Marino later cited this as the most memorable pass he'd thrown in his college career.[17]Overall, during the three seasons from 1979 through 1981, Pitt garnered 33 wins with only 3 losses (three straight 11–1 seasons) and was constantly ranked in the Top 5 of both major media polls. The Pitt football team's fortunes and Marino's statistics dipped duringhis senior year,which saw the team transition from head coachJackie Sherrillto new coachFoge Fazio,culminating in a 7–3 loss in the 1983Cotton Bowl ClassictoSouthern Methodist Universityand their "Pony Express" ofEric DickersonandCraig James.Marino finished ninth in voting for theHeisman Trophyin 1982, after finishing fourth the previous year.[18]Marino finished his four college seasons with 8,597 passing yards, 79 touchdowns, and 69 interceptions.[19]

Professional career

NFL draft

edit

Marino's selection status in the1983 NFL draftplummeted after his weaker senior season at Pitt[20]and rumors of recreational drug use.[21]Five other quarterbacks—Ken O'Brien,Tony Eason,Todd Blackledge,and Hall of FamersJim KellyandJohn Elway—were drafted ahead of him in the first round.Bill Hillgrove,who was with the Marino family on draft day, later recalled that when theNew York Jetsselected O'Brien, Marino "became visibly ill". (O'Brien, who played forDivision IICal-Davis,was so obscure that Marino later asked his agent Marvin Demoff "Who is Ken O'Brien?" )[20]

TheMiami Dolphinschose Marino as the 27th pick in the first round. He did not expect to be available for the team to draft, so he never spoke to head coachDon Shulaor anyone else from the Dolphins before the coach called after the selection.[22]Opinion was divided on the wisdom of the team's decision;Chris Bermansaid that Shula was "the best", butPaul Zimmermanwas skeptical of the coaching staff's ability to help Marino "overcome the problems he's had". Shula later said that being passed up by so many teams "motivated [Marino] to show everybody else what a mistake that they had made".[20]

Early years and Super Bowl appearance

edit

Marino was the first draft pick in the history of theUnited States Football League,selected by theLos Angeles Express.[18]He did not sign with the team, choosing instead to sign with the Dolphins. After starting the season as a backup to incumbent starterDavid Woodley,Marino was given his first NFL start in Week 6 versus theBuffalo Bills.Marino and Miami lost that game 38–35 in overtime. As a rookie, Marino set several records: he posted a 96.0 passer rating, he was selected to thePro Bowlas a rookie, he had the lowest percentage of passes intercepted with 2.03, he was the only rookie quarterback to lead a conference in passing, and he had the highest passing completion percentage with 58.45.[23]The Dolphins finished the season with a 12–4 record and advanced to the AFC divisional playoffs, where Marino threw two touchdown passes in his playoff debut. However, he also threw two interceptions as the team lost to the 9–7Seattle Seahawks,27–20.[24]

In his second season, Marino broke six NFL full-season passing records, including the records for most touchdown passes (48, surpassed byPeyton Manningin 2004) and most passing yards (5,084, surpassed byDrew Breesin 2011), and was selected as the NFL'sMost Valuable Player.Marino led the league in completions, yards, and TD passes and the Dolphins finished with a 14–2 regular-season record, clinching home-field advantage for the playoffs. In the Divisional round, the Dolphins avenged their playoff loss of the previous season to theSeattle Seahawks31–10 behind Marino's 262 passing yards and 3 touchdowns.[25][26]The next week the Dolphins defeated thePittsburgh Steelersin the AFC Championship Game 45–28.[27]In that game, Marino set AFC Championship Game records with 421 passing yards and 4 touchdowns, despite throwing his last pass of the game with 11:07 still remaining on the clock. Both records still stand as of 2024.

InSuper Bowl XIX,Marino and the Dolphins faced off against theSan Francisco 49ersandJoe MontanainPalo Alto, California.The Dolphins, who had 74 rushing attempts in the previous two weeks, ran the ball only eight times in this game. Marino finished with 29 completions out of 50 attempts for 318 yards, throwing one touchdown pass and two interceptions. The Dolphins lost 38–16 in what was Marino's only Super Bowl appearance.[25][28]

In 1985, Marino threw for 4,137 yards and 30 touchdowns while leading the Dolphins to the AFC Championship game.[29]On September 29, Marino threw for 390 yards and 3 touchdowns in the Dolphins' 30–26 victory over theDenver Broncos,in the first matchup between Marino and Broncos quarterbackJohn Elway.[30]Then on December 2, Marino threw for 270 yards and 3 touchdowns against thevaunted Chicago Bearsdefense in a 38–24 victory.[31]The loss was the only one that the Bears experienced that season. Marino again led the league in completions, yards, and touchdown passes and was named first-team All-Pro in 1985.[32][33]

On September 7, 1986, 8 days shy of his 25th birthday, Marino threw his 100th touchdown pass in a 50–28 loss to San Diego. Marino accomplished that feat in just 44 games- the fastest in NFL history. In the 1986 season, Marino threw for 4,746 yards and 44 touchdowns.[34]Marino became the first QB in NFL history to record three consecutive seasons of 30 or more touchdown passes; 48 in 1984, 30 in 1985, and 44 in 1986. Marino again led the league in completions, yards and touchdown passes (the first and only QB in NFL history to lead in all three categories for three consecutive seasons) and was named 1986 first-team All-Pro.

Mid-career

edit

In 1988, Marino threw for 4,434 yards and 28 touchdowns. As a result of his 4,434 yards passing, Marino became the first QB in NFL history to throw for 4,000 or more yards in four different seasons. Marino had been tied with Dan Fouts for the most 4,000 yard passing seasons with three.

In 1992, Marino again led the Dolphins to the AFC Championship game while passing for 4,116 and 24 touchdowns. His 4,116 passing yards led the entire NFL and marked the fifth time in his NFL career that he led the league in passing yards.

In 1993, Miami was strongly favored at the start of the year to make it back to the AFC championship game and possibly the Super Bowl. However, after throwing a swing pass at a game in Cleveland, Marino, who was untouched on the play, crumpled to the ground in pain with a tornAchilles tendonand was out for the season. Marino later said, "I felt like I got kicked".[35]Backup quarterbackScott Mitchellhad an impressive series of starts before suffering an injury of his own.Steve DeBergstarted the last 4 games of the season. Mitchell signed a free-agent contract with theDetroit Lions,and Miami signed veteran quarterbackBernie Kosarfrom theDallas Cowboysas a backup. Wearing a special shoe on one foot, and having a right calf that was visibly atrophied, Marino was the starting quarterback at the opening of the 1994 season.

In the1994 seasonopener, a home game versus theNew England Patriotsand quarterbackDrew Bledsoe,the two quarterbacks put up a combined 894 yards (Marino, 473 yards; Bledsoe, 421 yards) and nine passing touchdowns (Marino, 5; Bledsoe, 4), with Miami winning 39–35. Later in the season, Marino led a comeback win on the road against the New York Jets (28–24), a game famous for Marino's execution of a fake spike for the winning touchdown pass, a play known as "The Clock Play".The Dolphins finished 10–6 that year, and Marino passed for 4,453 yards and was named the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year by thePro Football Writers Association.After missing the postseason in 1993, Miami came back to the playoffs in 1994.[36]Placing third overall in the AFC, Miami was pitted against the Kansas City Chiefs in what became the final NFL game played by Montana.[37][38]Marino threw 257 yards and two touchdown passes, contributing to Miami's 27–17 win.[37]The Dolphins reached the AFC Divisional Playoff round, where they competed with the San Diego Chargers. Three touchdown passes by Marino in the first half allowed the Dolphins to lead 21–6, before the Chargers staged a comeback and took the lead toward the end of the fourth quarter. In the final moments of the game, Marino tried to set up a good position for a field goal, but with little time left at the Chargers' 30-yard line,Pete Stoyanovichwas forced to attempt a 48-yard field goal. Stoyanovich missed, ending the game with a 22–21 loss for Miami.[39]

Marino started in 14 out of 16 games in the 1995 season. He suffered a hip injury in week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts and was replaced byBernie Kosarin the following two games. Throughout the regular season, Marino threw 3,668 yards and 24 touchdowns. Despite falling to 9–7 and to third place in theAFC East,the Dolphins again advanced to the playoffs because they placed sixth in the AFC. In the wildcard round against the Buffalo Bills, Miami dominated in passing – with Marino passing 432 yards – while Buffalo was far ahead of Miami for rushing yards (341 yards). In terms of scoring, Buffalo held a wide lead throughout the game. The Dolphins remained scoreless until the fourth quarter, when they scored 22 points, which included two touchdown passes from Marino. However, Miami fell well short of a comeback and lost 37–22.

On November 10, 1996, against Indianapolis, Marino became the first QB in NFL History to throw for 50,000 career passing yards.

On November 29, 1998, against New Orleans, Marino threw for three touchdowns. His second touchdown pass, a 7 yarder to wide receiver OJ McDuffie, gave him 400 for his career as Marino became the first QB in NFL History to reach 400 career TD passes.

Final season and retirement

edit

The Dolphins opened the 1999 season on September 13 at the defending Super Bowl championsDenver BroncosonMonday Night Football.Marino threw for 215 yards and two touchdowns in the Dolphins' 38–21 victory.[40]For that performance, Marino earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors.[41]Marino earned that honor again on October 10 as he threw for 393 yards and two touchdowns in a thrilling 34–31 comeback victory over theIndianapolis Colts.[42][43]On October 17 against theNew England Patriots,Marino became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for 60,000 career passing yards.[44]He missed the next five games to a shoulder injury before returning in Week 12.[45]In the 1999 season, he appeared in 11 games and finished with 2,448 passing yards, 12 touchdowns, and 17 interceptions.[46]

Marino's final win was his first playoff road win and his 36th comeback win, as the Dolphins defeated theSeattle Seahawks20–17 in theWild Card Roundon January 9, 2000, in the final football game ever in theSeattle Kingdome.[47]In theDivisional Round(January 16), also on the road, Marino and the Dolphins lost 62–7 to theJacksonville Jaguars.[48]The Dolphins' 55-point margin of loss was the worst in the AFC playoffs' history. Marino was replaced by backupDamon Huardafter playing one series in the second half. However, he did end the first half on a high note, leading the Dolphins on an 80-yard scoring drive and throwing a 20-yard touchdown pass to receiverOronde Gadsdenwith one second remaining in the half. The Jacksonville game marked the end ofJimmy Johnson's coaching career; Johnson announced his retirement the next day.[49]

Before the 2000 season, Marino decided to retire,[50][51]after declining offers fromMinnesota,Tampa Bay,and his hometown ofPittsburghwhen the Dolphins declined his option on his contract.[52]Marino later admitted that he seriously considered the offer from the Vikings, but that he turned it down not because of his arm, but because he was not sure that his legs could take another season.[53]He also appreciated the fact that unlike many of his contemporaries, he got to play his entire career with one team.

Legacy

edit

During Marino's career, the Dolphins were perennial playoff contenders, reaching the postseason in 10 of his 17 seasons. He was selected to play in nine Pro Bowls (1983–1987, 1991, 1992, 1994, 1995), seven times as a starter, but due to injuries he only played in two of the games (1984, 1992). He was named first- or second-team All-Pro six times and earned All-AFC honors six times.[54]Marino won all three major individual awards: NFL MVP (1984); NFL Comeback Player of the Year (1994); and NFL Man of the Year (1998), which recognizes charitable work off the field.

In 1999, Marino was ranked 27th onThe Sporting Newslist of the 100 greatest football players, making him the highest-ranking Dolphins player.[55]In 2010, he was ranked number 25 on the NFL'sTop 100 Greatest Playerslist.[56]Marino was known for his quick release, and despite the fact that he was not skilled at scrambling, Marino possessed a natural awareness in the pocket, often sliding a step or two to avoid the pass rush.[57]As of the conclusion of the2020 NFL regular season,Marino's 155 wins rank seventh amongNFL quarterbacks,behindTom Brady,Peyton Manning,Brett Favre,Drew Brees,Ben Roethlisberger,andJohn Elway.Marino is also the winningest quarterback without a Super Bowl victory.[58]

In a year of accolades from the franchise he led for many years, the Dolphins also installed a life-size bronze statue of Marino atPro Player Stadium(now Hard Rock Stadium) and renamed Stadium Street to Dan Marino Boulevard.[61]

In 2003, Marino was honored for his outstanding NCAA career atPittwith an induction into theCollege Football Hall of Fame.In early 2004, Marino briefly returned to theMiami Dolphinsas Senior Vice President of Football Operations, but resigned from the newly created position only three weeks later, saying that the role was not in the best interest of either his family or the Dolphin organization. Marino was elected to thePro Football Hall of Famein 2005, one of only four Dolphins to be elected in their first year of eligibility (Jim Langer,Paul Warfield,Jason Taylor). He was inducted into the Hall of Fame on August 7, 2005, and was introduced by his oldest son, Daniel. During his induction speech, Dan threw "one last pass" to former teammateMark Clayton,who was sitting in the audience.

Marino was an analyst forCBS's Sunday pregame showThe NFL Todayfrom 2002 to 2013.

The team chose rookie driverJerry Nadeauto pilot the car at the start of the season; he was later released and the team went through a rotation of drivers. The team failed to qualify for several races, but did post a top-5 finish atPhoenix International Racewaylate in the season withTed Musgravedriving. The team only lasted the 1998 season and closed afterward.

edit

The Dan Marino Foundation was established in 1992 by Marino and his wife, Claire, after their son, Michael, was diagnosed withautism.[66]The foundation has distributed over $22 million to research, services, and treatment programs serving children with neurodevelopment disabilities. The Dan Marino Center, which opened in 1995 along with the Miami Children's Hospital, is an integrated neurodevelopmental center specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of children at risk for developmental and psychological problems. The center saw more than 48,000 children last year alone. Marino has teamed with other celebrities to raise awareness aboutautistic spectrum disorders,including fellow NFL quarterbackDoug Flutie,whose son also has an autism diagnosis.

On November 7, 2005, theNational Basketball Association'sMiami Heathonored Marino's charitable works and recognized his service toSouth Floridawith a halftime tribute, as well as a large donation to the Marino Foundation. Though a Heat jersey with his name and #13 was unveiled, this did not constitute retirement of his number by the Heat,[66]and is currently worn by Heat big manBam Adebayo.

On March 23, 2010, The Dan Marino Foundation held its first "Walk about Autism". Over 6000 walkers participated, as well as 420 volunteers provided by the Miami Dolphins Special Teams.
