Long time NFL coach Marty Shottenheimer passes away at 77
 

Marty Shottenheimer has passed away at 77 from Alzheimer's disease.

Quote: Schottenheimer coached the Kansas City Chiefs for 10 seasons and finished with a 101-58-1 regular season record, the highest total during any 10-year span in the franchise's history. He was inducted into the Chiefs Hall of Fame in 2010.

Marty Schottenheimer coached three other teams: the Cleveland Browns for five seasons where he finished with a 44-27 record, the Washington franchise for a season, finishing 8-8, and five seasons with the San Diego Chargers where he earned a 47-33 record.

In a statement the Chargers, which now play in Los Angeles, said Schottenheimer was "a tremendous leader of men and a man of great principle - the love and admiration his former players have for him to this day speak volumes."

That is one really awful disease. Took my father-in-law at 59 years of age.

RIP Sir

Your father in law passed way, way too early from this terrible disease. I hate how Insidious and relentless Alzheimer disease is.


Rest in peace to your father in law as well.
