Marty Schottenheimer ill?
Did anyone else catch Tim Grunhard on Petro's show the other day? Marty came up in a discussion about the temperaments of the 1990s Chiefs teams Grunny played on, and he mentioned almost in passing that "Marty isn't doing too well these days." He said something like, "I don't know if it's dementia or what you call it ..." And Petro indicated that he was aware of it as well. And that was it.
I don't remember hearing or reading that before. Is that common knowledge that I just missed? Anyone else have any info? UPDATED: It's official: Alzheimer's disease won't prevent Marty Schottenheimer from attending 30th reunion of Browns 1986 season Quote:

I hope this is not true. Marty caused us a lot of heartache, but he's a good guy. And I think of all his teams, he liked his Chiefs teams the best.

"There's a gleam men, there's a gleam..." Great motivator.... but I think his team tuned him out his last season...

We never should have let him leave.
The same can be said of the Chargers. |

Yeah, this. Marty brought professional football back to Kansas City.

He and Carl brought us back out of the dung heep. I will always have respect for that man and wish him good health. Won't here me speak bad of Marty I was there for the mess after Hank.

Nah, he had run his course here. What kman34 said below -- I think the team had tuned him out (and so had fans). The playoff disappointments had become too great, and the Monday Night Meltdown pretty much showed the Marty Era was over.
I loved what Marty brought to this franchise initially. He (and Carl) were exactly what it needed. I've always been highly critical of his playoff performances, but I wish no ill will on the man. |

If he's got dementia then so do I because I'm still trying to forget one Lin Elliot as well

Marty probably had the worst luck of any coach in the history of sports. He put a lot of different teams in position to win.
