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."

Marty also coached others who would become Superbowl winning coaches like Bill Cowher, Tony Dungy and Current Tampa Bay Coach, Bruce Arians.

Rest in Peace, Marty

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.
