Coach Schottenheimer won 200 games in 21 seasons
Longtime NFL head coach Marty Schottenheimer died on Monday, after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer's disease.
Schottenheimer, who was 77, was diagnosed in 2014 and entered hospice care near his home in Charlotte, N.C. last week.
Schottenheimer compiled a 200-126-1 record in 21 seasons as an NFL head coach with the Cleveland Browns (1984-88), Kansas City Chiefs (1989-98), Washington (2001) and the San Diego
Chargers (2002-06). His teams won at least 10 regular-season games 11 times and went to the playoffs 13 times.
Schottenheimer was inducted into the Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Fame in 2010.
His 200 wins rank eighth all-time in NFL history.
