Marty Schottenheimer is an American former footballer and coach, who finished his ‘National Football League’ (NFL) career with the ‘San Diego Chargers’ and had a 30-year-long career, with many records under his belt as a head coach. He is famous for his time with the ‘NFL’ teams ‘Cleveland Browns’ and ‘Kansas City Chiefs.’. Popularly known as “Marty ball,” his kind of play symbolized the power and the strength he expected his players to put into the game. According to Schottenheimer, however, “Marty ball” meant finding out what the players were good at and taking advantage of that to break the opponents. During his career as a head coach for 21 football seasons, his teams compiled a cumulative record of 252-213-1. The ‘Cleveland Browns’ compiled a record of 40-23-0 in the five seasons he coached them for. During the 1990s, Marty won more games with the ‘Kansas City Chiefs’ than any other coach. Marty won the ‘NFL’s ‘Coach of the Year’ award in 2004. Marty settled in Lake Norman, NC, with his wife, Pat. His motto throughout his coaching career stayed the same: “One play at a time,” which is also the name of a documentary film about Marty. In 2011, Schottenheimer was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, which was made public only in 2016.
