FameRank: 4

"Martin Edward "Marty" Schottenheimer" is a former professional football (gridiron)/professional American football player and coach. Over his career, he has served as head coach of the Cleveland Browns, Kansas City Chiefs, Washington Redskins, and San Diego Chargers. He has the most wins of any NFL coach since 1966 to never coach a team in a Super Bowl (which was first held in that year). He was fired from his head coaching position with the San Diego Chargers in 2007, after leading the Chargers to a 14–2 record but a disappointing second round loss. He later emerged as the head coach of the Virginia Destroyers of the United Football League (2009–)/United Football League, where he would win his only championship as a coach in his lone season there.

In 21 years as an NFL head coach, Schottenheimer won 200 regular season games and 5 out of 18 games in the postseason. He had only two seasons with more losses than wins in his entire career, and none until his 15th season; the Browns finished with a losing record in his first season, but with Schottenheimer as their coach, they were 4–4. He is the only coach in NFL history with at least 200 wins that has a losing playoff record.

We did not lose today. We got beat. We're obviously disappointed. This was a difficult game, and the Chiefs did everything they needed to in order to win.

There is no evidence in their recent history that would indicate that injuries have in any way compromised their ability to perform in a winning way.

We won the first game of a nine-game season. Those other seven are gone.

We'll make a decision on Sunday whether he'll be active or not.

I believe with a certainty, in my opinion, he is the finest running back I have ever seen in professional football.

He is a very special player and a very special person. He has as big a heart as anyone around. With guys like that, you really don't need much coaching.

You've only got 10 fingers to stick in the dike. Is there a breaking point that pushes you over the edge? . . . Where's the limit?

To be able to do what they have done in an era in which everything is designed to get people to be .500 win-loss percentage, and they go out and win three championships in four years, to me that's remarkable.
