Schottenheimer says he does not expect to work for Chiefs next season

The Kansas City Star

A remarriage between the Chiefs and Marty Schottenheimer is "highly unlikely," Schottenheimer said Wednesday.

Schottenheimer's name has been floated as a possible candidate to return to Kansas City, whether as general manager, coach or in a front-office consulting role similar to the position that Bill Parcells holds in Miami.

Schottenheimer didn't shoot down a return to the Chiefs during a lengthy conversation with The Star but said he did not expect to be working in Kansas City next season.

Schottenheimer said he spoke with Chiefs owner Clark Hunt recently, but Schottenheimer said the conversation was more about sharing his opinion on the team's direction than a discussion about returning to the city where he coached for a decade.

"It wasn’t a job interview of any kind," said Schottenheimer, who was 101-58-1 in 10 seasons with the Chiefs. "All he did was ask me my thoughts and my ideas; what I saw from my perspective relative to the Chiefs.

"I shared my feelings, and that was an opinion. It wasn’t about applying for a job or interviewing for a job. It was about: 'Marty, what do you think about the Chiefs?' I gave him my opinion."

Schottenheimer said he spoke with Hunt in New York when the Chiefs played the Jets in late October. Schottenheimer was visiting his son Brian, the Jets’ offensive coordinator, and Marty Schottenheimer said he spoke with Hunt on the sideline at the Meadowlands.

"I said, 'Clark, I’ve known you for a long, long time; if there’s anything I can do to help you, give me a call,' " Schottenheimer said Wednesday. "He was just doing research."

Schottenheimer said he and Hunt have talked within the past few weeks, but the former coach would not discuss details of those conversations. He also wouldn't discuss his involvement with other teams.

Schottenheimer, 65, has been mentioned as a potential candidate in Cleveland, although it is unclear whether the Browns might want Schottenheimer to return as a coach or executive. Cleveland fired its GM and coach this week.

Carl Peterson hired Schottenheimer in 1989, and the two orchestrated the best decade in Chiefs history: seven playoff appearances and an appearance in the 1993 AFC championship game. Schottenheimer left the Chiefs after the 1998 season and has since been coach at Washington and San Diego.

Schottenheimer said he maintains high interest in the Chiefs' rebuilding effort, saying Wednesday that he has been watching the developments closely since Peterson announced his resignation nearly three weeks ago.

"I’m very, very confident that the Kansas City Chiefs are going to work very diligently to recapture the kind of success that hey would look to," he said. "I believe they can and will do that. It’s going to take some

I have the perfect scenario for schadenfruede, Polian lands elsewhere and HE picks Schottenheimer as his HC.

Fine with me as long as Marty is not in KC....

whoman69 · 12-31-2008, 06:11 PM

I'm curious as to what he said about Herm?

**Bowser** · 12-31-2008, 06:13 PM

So it's settled, then? Marty is going to be our very own Parcells, minus the Super Bowl ring?

Maybe it's just me, but a decade that included three league Championships (AFL), two SB appearences, and a win in one of those, would seem like a better decade.

Dumbass.

We havent been to the AFC championship in 16 years...
