RIP: Longtime Chiefs coach Marty Schottenheimer dies at 77

I always liked him - I thought he was a good-coach and seemed like a straight-shooter as a person.

Idk, d-scrub, several former players were nicer than you were in YT tributes to him. One can only speculate if he'll get HOF induction posthumously. Don't blow it off so quickly, 2 head coaches who were 0 - 4 in Super Bowl (Bud Grant, Marv Levy) have their busts in Canton.

It seems like not to long ago he was coaching the Chargers. Marty ball could defintely get you to playoffs, after that who knows but that dude could win, check his record. To me he had that look of what I think an NFL coach is supposed to look like. He's like the guy that comes to mind. RIP

RIP Marty. Impressive regular season numbers.

"Cleveland more bad decisons by him"

I saw close up how Marty operated for the 4.5 years he ran the Browns. He took a team on the skids and led them to the play offs all 4 years he was in charge including the 2 AFC championship games. They had a good chance 2 win both of those games, alas it didn't happen. Yeah you can blame Marty and he had some faults but he was the best coach they had since 64 when Blanton Collier led them to a championship in the years following Paul Brown's dynasty. Years that I should add I don't have personal knowledge of but it's not hard to check the history.

Seriously scrub, you're entitled to your opinion but it doesn't jibe with actual facts. For the most part Marty is still admired and considered among the best of the Browns coaches, the best since Collier and now maybe Stefanski but it's too early to count him, by most Cleveland fans that experienced those days.

My validation is my experiences watching how the Browns did under him, Back then I saw every minute of every game, heard his press conferences, etc, I really don't need to read what someone else said 10 years ago.

Nobody can please everybody, he pissed me off a few times but overall he was good for the team and except for maybe 2 outlier years here and there they haven't been as consistently good in all those years until this year. But, IMO the jury is still out on this year.
