| Quote: | Marty Schottenheimer battles Alzheimer’s disease
Former NFL head coach Marty Schottenheimer, whose career reached nearly 350 games with four different teams, has been battling Alzheimer’s disease for five years, according to Tony Grossi of ESPNCleveland.com.
“He’s in the best of health, [but] sometimes he just doesn’t remember everything,” said Pat Schottenheimer, Marty’s wife of 48 years. “He functions extremely well, plays golf several times a week. He’s got that memory lag where he’ll ask you the same question three or four times. . . . He remembers people and faces, and he pulls out strange things that I’ve never heard, but he’s doing well. It’s going be a long road. We both know that.”
The 73-year-old Schottenheimer, who will be in Cleveland for the 30th anniversary of the 1986 Browns team that came within “The Drive” of getting to the Super Bowl, is upbeat about the situation.
“I’m sitting here looking at a lake and it’s a spectacular setting,” Schottenheimer told Grossi. “Pat and I, the Lord’s blessed us. I mean, there’s no other way I can identify it. We’re doing really good.”
Schottenheimer coached the Browns from 1984 through 1988. He then coached the Chiefs from 1989 through 1998, Washington for the 2001 season, and the Chargers from 2002 through 2006, with his NFL career ending after a 14-2 season and a divisional-round exit from the playoffs. |

Bless him, that sucks. It's really touch having someone in your family go through that. Hopefully in this case it develops slowly so he can have many years of normal life ahead of him.
I love Marty, was one of my most heartbreaking sports moments when the Bolts fired him.

I can't tell if its serious or not.
A great coach who made the Browns relevant and the Chiefs too however John Elway always seemed to haunt this dude.
Also was good on the Chargers as much as I loathe the Pats I was glad they beat the Chargers not only because we got to host the AFC Championship game but we could beat the Pats back then the Chargers always gave us problems. |

He will likely beat it, unless the winner goes to the Super Bowl.
