Schottenheimer chat @ ESPN - Page 2

Just a couple of snippets....

Dave, NJ: What is the most hostile crowd or atmosphere you have ever coached a game in?

SportsNation Marty Schottenheimer: Let's start out by saying that Arrowhead Stadium is the most difficult stadium in which to operate your offense effectively. The fans are very aware that the sound they create is a major distraction to the opponent and they are very savvy about when to create the most noise. Having competed in most all of the indoor stadiums, I still think that Arrowhead is even more difficult to function in than those.

Mikey(Lackawanna NY): Marty, What are your thoughts on Derrick Thomas being passed on the Hall of Fame 2 yrs in a row? Besides LT he is the best OLB to ever play the game. Would you agree with me?

SportsNation Marty Schottenheimer: I am obviously biased about Derrick and his accomplishments. I saw him make more game-changing plays in our time together than any other player I've coached. Those that are opposed to his selection as a Hall of Fame player don't appreciate the sacrifices that he made by playing as a defensive end in a four-man line. The greatest tribute that can be made to a defensive player is that he can change the outcome of games. Derrick Thomas certainly did just that.

This comes from Jeremy Greens NFL CHat

josh - philly: Will KC sign Kawika Mitchel... wouldnt mind seeing him in Philly to replace Trot...

SportsNation Jeremy Green: (4:21 PM ET ) He is set to hit the market. Would be surprised to see a deal get done with FA less then a week away. Philly is a team that should be in the mix.

Good. This D will never be a top D with him in the middle.

Wow, that was fast. I look forward to catching him on there soon.

I am thinking that AJ Smith fellow waited until all the jobs were filled.

Regardless of Herm or Marty, Neither one of those Assclowns will ever coach in a superbowl... History pretty much backs up that statement.

I thought the same thing about Mack Brown, but fortunately for him, Talent overcame all the dumb ass coaching in the world.

kcxiv · 02-23-2007, 04:28 PM

I think Herm can do it, he just needs to change up a little bit. He can get his team to play for him. I liek the Herm hiring, plus his press conferences are interesting to watch.

We need to ditch Carl and hire Marty as the new GM.

What the Chiefs need is to get rid of Carl and his little coaching tree.

IF the Chiefs ever want to win, Carl, Herm or Marty need to be as far away from KC as possible.

It has been 18 years of Carl, Marty, Dick, Gunter and now Herm, other than a stadium full of fans and Hunts pockets deeper, They havent produced or won shit!!

fuck Carl and his band of worthless cronies.

I'd go for that. Marty has always wanted complete control. I'd like to see what he can do.

Skip?

Why in the hell would you want to bring Marty back to the Chiefs in any capacity? I guess winning or hell even playing in the superbowl is a very low priority for the Chiefs and the Hunts?

We will never get there if we keep recycling these guys through arrowhead..

It really is time for something new, better or worse, We need new life in KC...

Would you want Marty talking to his team about Chargers week every time he faced you after what he did to the Raiders all those years?

I think not.
