“Martyball” became a negative term, and that’s unfair to Marty Schottenheimer.
Schottenheimer’s long football career shouldn’t be defined only by his lack of a championship. Schottenheimer coached 21 years in the NFL and had only two losing seasons, and became one of eight coaches in history to reach 200 wins. He was a master motivator who got the most out of his players for more than two decades as a head coach.
Schottenheimer died on Monday at age 77 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. He was placed in hospice care in late January.
