I enjoyed coaching him, and I want to extend my condolences to his family on his passing.Former teammate Nat Moore, who is now Miamis senior vice president for alumni relations, said Stanfills gentle demeanor hid a ferocious competitive streak.With his intensity on the field and his wit in the locker room, he was a leader on a team that was composed of a host of unique personalities, Moore said. He will be missed by everyone who was fortunate to know him, his teammates, the Dolphins organization, and the teams many fans.Stanfills final two seasons were plagued by injuries, and he retired after the 1976 season. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1998 with Dooley at his side.Three years later, Stanfill was featured in a Sports Illustrated article that detailed the myriad physical problems he endured after leaving football.
