Marty Schottenheimer coached the Chiefs from 1989 to 1998 amid his three-decade career in the league.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI miss him,\u201d Brian Schottenheimer told reporters on June 12. \u201cI would tell him that I used all the life lessons that he taught me, not just about football, but about life and being a good man and a good husband and a good father, and that I think I\u2019m doing OK for myself. But I know he\u2019s proud; I miss him like crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brian Schottenheimer\u2019s second NFL job came with the Chiefs in 1998 when he worked with his father. Brian Schottenheimer served as an assistant that year after a season with the then-St. Louis Rams in the same role during 1997.<\/p>\n<p>They coached together again with the then-Washington Redskins in 2001 followed by the then-San Diego Chargers between 2001 and 2005. Marty Schottenheimer called it a career in the NFL after the Chargers fired him following the 2006 season. He had a brief comeback with coaching in 2011 when he worked with the Virginia Destroyers of the UFL.<\/p>\n<p>Marty Schottenheimer passed away in 2021.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Marty Schottenheimer Had Successful Run With Chiefs<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5390960\">\n<div>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Marty-Schottenheimer-3.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=782\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 782px) 100vw, 782px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Marty-Schottenheimer-3.jpg 3072w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Marty-Schottenheimer-3.jpg?resize=150,100 150w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Marty-Schottenheimer-3.jpg?resize=300,201 300w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Marty-Schottenheimer-3.jpg?resize=768,514 768w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Marty-Schottenheimer-3.jpg?resize=1024,685 1024w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Marty-Schottenheimer-3.jpg?resize=1536,1028 1536w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Marty-Schottenheimer-3.jpg?resize=2048,1371 2048w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Marty-Schottenheimer-3.jpg?resize=782,523 782w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Marty-Schottenheimer-3.jpg?resize=780,522 780w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Marty-Schottenheimer-3.jpg?resize=425,284 425w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Marty-Schottenheimer-3.jpg?resize=660,442 660w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Marty-Schottenheimer-3.jpg?resize=253,169 253w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Marty-Schottenheimer-3.jpg?resize=269,180 269w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Marty-Schottenheimer-3.jpg?resize=224,150 224w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Marty-Schottenheimer-3.jpg?resize=242,161 242w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Marty-Schottenheimer-3.jpg?resize=225,150 225w\" alt=\"Late Chiefs Coach Marty Schottenheimer Remembered by Cowboys Coach, Son\" width=\"782\" height=\"523\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5390960\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5390960\">GettyLate Chiefs head coach Marty Schottenheimer won 101 games with the team between 1989 and 1998.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Marty Schottenheimer never had a losing season with the Chiefs amid a 101-58-1 record in 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>That made up more than half of his 200 career wins between his other stints with the Cleveland Browns, Chargers, and then-Redskins. Schottenheimer took the Chiefs to the AFC Championship Game in 1993, but his team lost to the Buffalo Bills in the middle of the Bills\u2019 dominant 1990s run.<\/p>\n<p>He made it that far only one other time when the Browns lost to the Denver Broncos in the 1986 AFC Championship Game.

And so, he never won a Super Bowl, he won over 200 games in the NFL, but I would put his legacy up against anybody who\u2019s ever coached in the National Football League,\u201d Schottenheimer concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Matthew Davis covers the NFL, WNBA and college sports for Heavy.com.
