A Football Life : Marty Schottenheimer
Next Tuesday.
They flashed a bit of the kicker who shall go unnamed. And then cut to Marty saying, "It was the biggest mistake of my life." I'm assuming Grbac/Gannon. It's been long enough. I want to see it. |

Actually I think the biggest mistake he's referring to is him leaving KC.
In his book he talks about regretting it.

Yeah, when it shows the clip about the biggest mistake he's ever made, I thought it was about him leaving Kansas City.

When he did leave, though, the general feeling was that it was time. All the buzz was that you can only spend so much time in one place. All those great speeches and that passion started to fall on deaf ears. He needed a fresh start.
Kinda sounds like Reid. |

I really wonder what would've happened if Marty had stayed on. But my opinion of Norv is not that high, at least as a HC. Marty built them up to a 14-2 team and then let Norv run it into the ground. And he never coached again. Pretty amazing really.

I really feel bad for the guy. I've always liked him and always thought he got shafted. I mean, how do you go 14-2 and get fired? SMH. He gets you to the playoffs almost every year and then anything can happen. So you fire him for a guy that that's never won anything. Such a shame.

Yeah sure he was conservative, but at the end of the day.. HE GOT HIS TEAM TO THE PLAYOFFS EVERY YEAR!! Ask the Bills, Browns, Cards, Dolphins, (and until this year, our Chiefs), Jags, vikings, redskins, bucs, if they would rather go the playoffs every year as opposed to going under 500 every year. Yeah thats right, all those teams would love to have what he accomplished. As for why he was never re-hired, I have no clue. I really thought he would have been rehired quickly. All I can think is that he got upset about being fired after going 14-2 and decided he was done with coaching. All I know is that many underachieving teams would have loved to have him. He was a good coach. |

Marty will always have his UFL title with the Virginia Destroyers to cherish.
