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:

Bad news.

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.

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

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

Huh? Didn't they go 14-2? I hardly think the team tuned him out his last season.

Started watching football in the early-mid 90s while my dad was stationed at Offutt. It helped a lot that the Chiefs were good. Stayed a fan even when moving away. Dan Synder was an idiot for firing Marty for Spurrier.
I have a horrible pick of teams to be a fan of when it comes to playoff/big game disappointment except for the Devils. |

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

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. |

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.

There is no reason to. His work as a coach is part of NFL history. Good and bad. All in all I have respect for the guy and I wish him well.
