I am here - and in mourning. I certainly don't share the insensitive comments in this fucking video. Marty was a great coach - but even more than that, he was a man who was not ashamed to show his emotions - as Jennifer Montana once said. Why hasn't Joe made a statement today? That sort of sucks. Anyway, Marty was even greater as a parent. Of that, I have the highest respect.
@@foxydancerchoreocougar544 one-this video wasnt trying to be mean, he was just pointing out the bullshit that he endured during his tenure and was joking around.

Two-Marty was a great coach and a great man, and will be remembered as such
What's awful about that interception->fumble against the Patriots is that there's recordings of Schottenheimer LITERALLY telling his players when they make the interception to win the game GO DOWN dont run it. Like...if thats not a sign of being cursed I don't know what is. Can't blame Marty if someone just plain doesnt listen.
@@CuriousOfficial I'm gonna go a step further and say selfish. Because trying to go for yards at the point in the game they were in is about boosting your stats. Especially after your coach explicitly tells you not to do that! Put himself before the team.

@@SafetyTheDuck Skins fans say it too. It took a long time for everyone to realize that Marty was taking the team in the right direction. Would they have won anything? Maybe. Maybe not. Would they have been better than they were? Absolutely.
For me, it was "NFL '95" when Marty won a Super Bowl. The only thing you truly feared: kicking a field goal with Lin Elliot, the WORST kicker in the game!
Marty was a great coach. Most of his missed Super Bowls were mistakes by the players and never his own. Today Marty passed away and he will be remembered as one of the greatest coaches of all time to never win a super bowl. Rest In Peace Marty Schottenheimer
I'll always have a fondness for Marty because his Chiefs years were when I started watching football. It's heartbreaking knowing he has Alzheimer's today.
@broncos4life05 That's mean, I guess you’re only saying that because the Chiefs will be beating the Broncos pretty easily for at least the next decade or more.

HauntedSerenade you can thank Tom Olivadotti and that mediocre defense for not supporting him (and maybe Don Shula for not having the guts to fire Olivadotti)
Marty is a prime example that you can be a great coach, but without some luck going your way at the right times, you will go from hero to zero instantaneously. Winning Super Bowls requires a ton of things to go your way, and yes, that includes luck. He just didn’t have the luck at the right times, and kept running into people like John Elway and Tom Brady who rain on his parade.
You should have mentioned AJ Smith in addition to Spanos, AJ was the “Bruce Allen” who destroyed the Chargers. The Chargers team culture since 2007 has been “damn good”.
As a lifetime Chiefs fan, I have nothing but love for Marty. It saddens me that he has Alzheimer's and doesn't even remember most of his coaching career now.
Milsurp Mike Channel I was at the preseason game where Marty was inducted into the Chiefs Hall of Fame. All of Arrowhead erupted into chants of “Mart-y, Mart-y, Mart-y!” It was great. Even though I was a kid when he was here and didn’t watch football until ‘03, I heard plenty and have seen several games. The man was a damn good coach and he deserved to at least get to 1 superbowl.
@@izzyyy8425 I’m a Raiders fan too, and yea. One of the great coaches of the 90’s and 2000’s, only to never even make it to a Super Bowl because of rotten luck. He helped bring some much needed additions to the game that draw parallels to what Pete Carroll did before Russ’s emergence or what Jack Del Rio did with us. May Marty rest in paradise.
Just passed away this morning. One of the best coaches to never win a super bowl, hell, one of the best to not make a super bowl. R.I.P. Marty Schottenheimer.
@@KurtColville “That fucker Bono” indeed. We all called him that when he said there wasn’t one BBQ place in KC that could compare to even the worst joint in the Bay area.
The 2000's Chargers are when I really started paying attention to football, and I always had hope for Martyball. It never came to pass, but the 2005 team is what I really remember and wish had a championship
I remember watching that Chargers vs Patriots game as a kid and proceeding to question how the hell a coach gets fired after going 14-2. Going 14-2 and losing to the greatest dynasty in history? No shame in that.
@First Name Last Name lol, cute. Patriots were a superbowl threat for 2 decades in the salary cap era. Made the superbowl 9 times in that time period and won 6 of those 9. You literally have no argument. Btw if you think calling me "kid" or "boy" is going to upset me, you're sadly mistaken, boomer.
It’s honestly kind of surprising that a defensive coordinator like Marty ended up coach a bunch of top offenses as a coach, particularly with the Chargers.
That's why 14-2 doesn't even matter. That team would have won 14 games with a hamster calling the offense. ALLTIME HALL OF FAME OFFENE. ALLTIME HALL OF FAME DEFENSE. Still doesnt win a playoff. That's on the coach as much as anyone else.
@davidfhth6842 The defender made an interception, and all he had to do was get the hell down so they could drain the clock as much as possible. Marty even told his guys if they got an interception to go down. How is it Marty's fault if the idiot doesn't listen?
I feel really bad for Marty. The amount of pain he went through in his career is completely unimaginable. Hopefully he’s in a better place now. Marty also had a great career with many HOFers such as: Ladanian Tomlinson Phillip Rivers Antonio Gates Ozzie Newsome Joe DeLamielleure Joe Montana Marcus Allen DT Will Shields
This video is completely different now that Marty is gone. RIP coach Schottenheimer, may the football gods reward your hard work in the afterlife. Hopefully with a super bowl ring and a Vince Lombardi trophy.
Awesome video!!! OH, the HEART BREAKS I have endured with Marty Schottenheimer coaching my Cleveland Browns & Kansas City Chiefs!!! Loved Marty in Cleveland, for he did bring respectability to that franchise. I became a Chiefs fan because of Marty. Damn, all the tears shed for the possibilities that he would maybe eventually get a team into the Super Bowl. Definitely had the talent (mostly) on both teams, but both teams picked the most inopportune times to suddenly collapse around him. Oh, the pain of those KC quarterbacks coming over from San Francisco (other than Steve DeBerg - loved watching him play!!). THANKS!!! for the memories!!!!
While it is a bit unfortunate Schottenheimer's NFL legacy is nothing but postseason heartbreak, he still lived an incredible life that most of us dream of. R.I.P Coach
Marty Schottenheimer, as I call him the NFL's equivalent to MLB's Dusty Baker. Both know how to run a team, both will get you into the playoffs, then heartbreak in the playoffs. Still in awe how the Cubs beat the Nationals in the NLDS in 2017, like they tried to give it to the Nats
they DID. the rain delay gave them life. (MLB late games are very momentum based and they had none of it before that, it allowed them to gain a footing and the Nats immediately folded)
At least Dusty Baker can advance to the league's championship game. Everyone knows Marty Schottenheimer never won a Super Bowl, but it’s quite common to forget that Marty never made it to the Super Bowl.
I love me some Marty. Huge Chiefs fan, and have been one since the days of Mr. DeBerg at QB. He certainly presents the cautionary tale to any coach, owner, or fan that some of the time it really is a little luck that finally wins you the big game.
Tree MUST tie in the Texans as a sidebar if this happens, albeit as a Legacy of Pain (counting the Oilers 2 AFL ‘ships). I know they’re just shy of 20 years old, but I think the pain they’ve experienced in their own right is a great tie-in.
Harry Engel is correct. If anything, it would be set up in this style (“Legacy of Pain”). That’s fair, and I can see multiple teams being subjected to it.
@@bizzles44 Take that back. If Marty would've had similar pieces he had in 2006 throughout his tenure with the Chargers, he would've made the Chargers into a perennial AFC powerhouse. Norv inherited a good team that's foundation was built upon the work of Schottenheimer and slowly transformed it into a pretty mediocre one.
A Tax Collector that’s the chargers in a nutshell. Win when there’s no expectations and fold like a lawn chair when they get picked for the super bowl. Marty could never win the big one anywhere he coached and it says a lot that no one even hired him after going 14-2. He’s just not that great of a coach and has a horrible playoff record
I was at Arrowhead for a preseason game when they inducted Marty into the Chiefs HOF. Tons of old stars from the past were there as well as the top brass of the team. I will never forget the sea of red as they broke out into chants of “Marty, Marty, Marty”.
There should be a Marv Levy Legacy of Pain. True, he did win the Grey Cup a couple of times with the Montreal Alouettes in 70s, but he's more notable for being the coach of the Buffalo Bills during their heartbreaking 4 Super Bowl losses.
My late father raised me a Charger fan in the Marty-Brees era but I left with Drew to NOLA. I always will have a soft spot for the Bolts but dropping Marty was the worst idea ever. I totally understand picking Rivers over Breesus. Who knew he’d come back from that shoulder injury? And Rivers had a decade as a stud QB. But the Chargers have never come close since. Always been something wrong that sinks them.
Dear AJ Smith, Thank you for giving us Eli Manning for Philip Rivers and wasting Philip's career in San Diego. Signed, New York Giants Ring of Honor member, Ernie Accorsi
joesakic91 AJ smith didn’t waste Rivers career. Spanos and his mismanagement ruined it for him. We all know that Rivers is better than Manning. The only reason Eli has those rings Is because the Giants Defense carried him there lol
@@Misfit_Z71 But Eli Manning still have to lead the Giants offense to the game-winning points against Tom Brady and the Patriots in SBs 42 and 46. That's why Eli Manning was voted Super Bowl MVP in both of those Super Bowls. Without Eli Manning's heroics and beating Brady at his own game which was game-winning drives, Michael Strahan and Justin Tuck don't have Super Bowl rings on their fingers. You don't know anything about winning.
joesakic91 sounds like I rustled someone’s jimmies for having a different opinion and apparently I don’t know anything about winning. If that’s what helps you get through the day then I’m all for it buddy.
@@Misfit_Z71 Well, your opinion doesn't hold water. So by your logic, Tom Brady was carried by Adam Vinatieri, Tedy Bruschi and Bill Belichick in his six Super Bowl titles? Was John Elway carried by Terrell Davis, Jason Elam and Steve Atwater for his back-to-back Super Bowl titles in 1997 and 1998? Did Joe Montana let Jerry Rice, Charles Haley and Bill Walsh to a dynasty in the 1980s for the San Francisco 49ers? See, you don't know anything about winning. Sure, football is a team sport, but you still need a QB to come up clutch in crunch time especially in the playoffs. That's why the QB gets more regular season and Super Bowl MVPs.
God rest your soul Marty Schottenheimer. At least you are now at peace, free from the pain. God rest his soul. I hope one day he does be part of Canton.

Winning Super Bowls requires a ton of things to go your way, and yes, that includes luck. He just didn’t have the luck at the right times, and kept running into people like John Elway and Tom Brady who rain on his parade.
You should have mentioned AJ Smith in addition to Spanos, AJ was the “Bruce Allen” who destroyed the Chargers. The Chargers team culture since 2007 has been “damn good”.
TheLocalLt as a Chiefs fan, I can confirm that
"The culture is actually damn good" 😂😂😂 How that fuckin clown is actually an executive for a billion dollar organization is beyond me
This was an unexpected start to my morning. Great video, Tree. Definitely made me learn some new things about Schottenheimer.
As a lifetime Chiefs fan, I have nothing but love for Marty. It saddens me that he has Alzheimer's and doesn't even remember most of his coaching career now.
Milsurp Mike Channel I was at the preseason game where Marty was inducted into the Chiefs Hall of Fame. All of Arrowhead erupted into chants of “Mart-y, Mart-y, Mart-y!” It was great. Even though I was a kid when he was here and didn’t watch football until ‘03, I heard plenty and have seen several games. The man was a damn good coach and he deserved to at least get to 1 superbowl.
Raiders fan but may he Rest In Peace. He was a legendary coach and will forever be missed.
me too
@@izzyyy8425 I’m a Raiders fan too, and yea. One of the great coaches of the 90’s and 2000’s, only to never even make it to a Super Bowl because of rotten luck. He helped bring some much needed additions to the game that draw parallels to what Pete Carroll did before Russ’s emergence or what Jack Del Rio did with us. May Marty rest in paradise.
I might be a Chiefs fan, but I can agree with that statement. Though at the same time I must give the obligatory Fuck You Raider.
Who’s back here after Marty passed?
RIP Marty Schottenheimer🥺🥺
Now you’re up in heaven coaching gods team
Just passed away this morning. One of the best coaches to never win a super bowl, hell, one of the best to not make a super bowl. R.I.P. Marty Schottenheimer.
The only thing that can wake me up 4am in the morning is a notification of an upload from UrinatingTree
"Hey Len you gonna kick a field goal today?"..."Nah, I'd rather shank myself out of the league."
Well, Lin. We never forget. And “that fucker Bono.” Most miserable day I ever had at Arrowhead.
@@KurtColville “That fucker Bono” indeed. We all called him that when he said there wasn’t one BBQ place in KC that could compare to even the worst joint in the Bay area.
@@HarbingerOfBattle He was a disgrace.
Here after he died. What an amazing NFL coach. RIP Marty
Rest in peace Marty,wish you could have gotten a superbowl ring before you passed😔🙏
I just watched and learned of this man a few days before he passed. Very sad times indeed...he deserved every championship opportunity he got.
RIP Derek Thomas. The reason I finally got into college football
5:01 "He couldn't catch Coronavirus even if he TRIED"
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Urinating Tree drops a truth bomb and I damn near do a spit take with my coffee...
Too soon.
I’m glad he got a championship even if it wasn’t in the nfl.
Logan96 yeah that’s some sort of closure
The 2000's Chargers are when I really started paying attention to football, and I always had hope for Martyball. It never came to pass, but the 2005 team is what I really remember and wish had a championship
The league he won the title in may be forgotten, but he never will be. _Requiescat in pace_ , Marty.
I remember watching that Chargers vs Patriots game as a kid and proceeding to question how the hell a coach gets fired after going 14-2. Going 14-2 and losing to the greatest dynasty in history? No shame in that.
Sam Skott the incompetent management is the main reason
Chargers won that game and they probably would had won a championship. They were a really good team that year.
@@JuwanBuchanan Yes, they were stacked. Coaching wise, there only one mistake from Marty that day..Albeit a costly one.
@First Name Last Name name a better one then...kid
@First Name Last Name lol, cute. Patriots were a superbowl threat for 2 decades in the salary cap era. Made the superbowl 9 times in that time period and won 6 of those 9. You literally have no argument.
Btw if you think calling me "kid" or "boy" is going to upset me, you're sadly mistaken, boomer.
Always respected Marty. Enjoyed the team he put together almost every time. He really put up with shit ownership the later half of his career.
It’s honestly kind of surprising that a defensive coordinator like Marty ended up coach a bunch of top offenses as a coach, particularly with the Chargers.
That's why 14-2 doesn't even matter. That team would have won 14 games with a hamster calling the offense. ALLTIME HALL OF FAME OFFENE. ALLTIME HALL OF FAME DEFENSE. Still doesnt win a playoff. That's on the coach as much as anyone else.
@davidfhth6842 The defender made an interception, and all he had to do was get the hell down so they could drain the clock as much as possible. Marty even told his guys if they got an interception to go down. How is it Marty's fault if the idiot doesn't listen?
RIP Marty. I’m glad he won a title even if it wasn’t in the NFL. He was a great coach. May you rest in paradise
May he rest in piece

Maybe,in the future,Yelich goes for 100 hr a season.and with competent pitching,you will reach the World Series again.

And now Schottenheimer has Alzheimer's. It's a damn shame, he really was a good coach...
Teufeldolch Nah
@@bryce975 Nah?
Now he's in hospice :(
Now he just died. RIP Marty Schottenheimer
Utree: uploads a video at 7 (Eastern)
Me: Because boredom and the lack of sleep I have, I must watch
I feel really bad for Marty. The amount of pain he went through in his career is completely unimaginable. Hopefully he’s in a better place now.
Marty also had a great career with many HOFers such as:
Ladanian Tomlinson
Phillip Rivers
Antonio Gates
Ozzie Newsome
Joe DeLamielleure
Joe Montana
Marcus Allen

Will Shields
RIP Marty Schottenheimer thanks for the memories prayers to his family
RIP Marty. Let's hope you win a title in the great beyond
R.I.P. to one of the best coaches ever.
You will be missed, Marty.
RIP Marty. A legend died today
This video is completely different now that Marty is gone. RIP coach Schottenheimer, may the football gods reward your hard work in the afterlife. Hopefully with a super bowl ring and a Vince Lombardi trophy.
Awesome video!!! OH, the HEART BREAKS I have endured with Marty Schottenheimer coaching my Cleveland Browns & Kansas City Chiefs!!! Loved Marty in Cleveland, for he did bring respectability to that franchise. I became a Chiefs fan because of Marty. Damn, all the tears shed for the possibilities that he would maybe eventually get a team into the Super Bowl. Definitely had the talent (mostly) on both teams, but both teams picked the most inopportune times to suddenly collapse around him. Oh, the pain of those KC quarterbacks coming over from San Francisco (other than Steve DeBerg - loved watching him play!!). THANKS!!! for the memories!!!!
While it is a bit unfortunate Schottenheimer's NFL legacy is nothing but postseason heartbreak, he still lived an incredible life that most of us dream of. R.I.P Coach
Marty was a great HC for the Browns, his defense was incredible, but his luck was horrendous
Unfortunately he just passed away. Such a shame he couldn’t win a Lombardi
Rest in peace, sir.
At least he won at least _a_ championship while he was alive.
Just not with the NFL.
He did in the AFL though. He was a member of the 1965 Buffalo bills
@@ethanbabb3423 Not as an NFL coach.
@@QuackersClocksYT true
Rest In Peace, Schottenheimer. You will be missed.
Marty was arguably the greatest coach to never get a ring, even though he deserved at least two in his career. RIP Coach Schottenheimer.
Rest easy on that Football Field in the Sky Marty! May you forever be remembered as the best coach to never get win the big one. R.I.P.
RIP Marty Schottenheimer. The leader of Schotzi’s Nazis
Yooooo😂😂😂😂😂
@@geno1399 I'm serious, I overheard that from my dad that was what some people in the media were calling his teams, as a nick name of course.
He passed away today. This video made me appreciate him so much more. Thank you for making it.
Marty Schottenheimer, as I call him the NFL's equivalent to MLB's Dusty Baker. Both know how to run a team, both will get you into the playoffs, then heartbreak in the playoffs. Still in awe how the Cubs beat the Nationals in the NLDS in 2017, like they tried to give it to the Nats
they DID. the rain delay gave them life. (MLB late games are very momentum based and they had none of it before that, it allowed them to gain a footing and the Nats immediately folded)
At least Dusty Baker can advance to the league's championship game. Everyone knows Marty Schottenheimer never won a Super Bowl, but it’s quite common to forget that Marty never made it to the Super Bowl.
*Marty Schottenheimer as “The Pain”*

Well the Ducks were close to winning a cup when they were owned by Disney. And didn't the Angels win a World Series under their ownership?
@@disneyfan8719 Yup Disney still owned the Angels in 2002.
I love me some Marty. Huge Chiefs fan, and have been one since the days of Mr. DeBerg at QB. He certainly presents the cautionary tale to any coach, owner, or fan that some of the time it really is a little luck that finally wins you the big game.
i watched this last night and now he gone.. RIP
Speaking of the Houston Oilers, are you ever going to do a Legacy of Failure video on the Oilers and the Tennessee Titans?
Bill O'Brien is a HACK!
Tree MUST tie in the Texans as a sidebar if this happens, albeit as a Legacy of Pain (counting the Oilers 2 AFL ‘ships). I know they’re just shy of 20 years old, but I think the pain they’ve experienced in their own right is a great tie-in.
Harry Engel is correct. If anything, it would be set up in this style (“Legacy of Pain”). That’s fair, and I can see multiple teams being subjected to it.
@DP Brigz I'd definitely love to see that!
They did accomplished something recently, ending the Brady era in New England.
The Titans are finally out of mediocrity and worse.
RIP Marty, you were a legend and deserved better. A true leader.
And yet, the Chargers gave Norv Turner chance after chance with mostly mediocre season after mediocre season.
A Tax Collector Norv Turner won more playoff games than Marty 😂
@@bizzles44 If they would've kept Marty as long as they did Norv, the Chargers might've been a perennial AFC powerhouse for years to come.
@@bizzles44 Take that back. If Marty would've had similar pieces he had in 2006 throughout his tenure with the Chargers, he would've made the Chargers into a perennial AFC powerhouse. Norv inherited a good team that's foundation was built upon the work of Schottenheimer and slowly transformed it into a pretty mediocre one.
A Tax Collector that’s the chargers in a nutshell. Win when there’s no expectations and fold like a lawn chair when they get picked for the super bowl. Marty could never win the big one anywhere he coached and it says a lot that no one even hired him after going 14-2. He’s just not that great of a coach and has a horrible playoff record
FUCK YOU SPANOS!!!
I was at Arrowhead for a preseason game when they inducted Marty into the Chiefs HOF. Tons of old stars from the past were there as well as the top brass of the team. I will never forget the sea of red as they broke out into chants of “Marty, Marty, Marty”.
I have to watch this again after learning of his passing. Marty was a spectacular coach. RIP Marty you will be missed
That interception fumble has to be the biggest example of Brady’s luck I have ever seen
Rest In Peace, Marty. Should’ve gotten a ring.
He kinda got a ring as apart of 1965 Buffalo Bills that won the afl championship
Rest well, Marty. We'll miss you.
RIP Marty. You may have only gotten one ring, but you will forever be a champion to us all.
Was that ring in the afl with the Bills?
There should be a Marv Levy Legacy of Pain. True, he did win the Grey Cup a couple of times with the Montreal Alouettes in 70s, but he's more notable for being the coach of the Buffalo Bills during their heartbreaking 4 Super Bowl losses.
My late father raised me a Charger fan in the Marty-Brees era but I left with Drew to NOLA. I always will have a soft spot for the Bolts but dropping Marty was the worst idea ever. I totally understand picking Rivers over Breesus. Who knew he’d come back from that shoulder injury? And Rivers had a decade as a stud QB. But the Chargers have never come close since. Always been something wrong that sinks them.
Dear AJ Smith,
Thank you for giving us Eli Manning for Philip Rivers and wasting Philip's career in San Diego.
Signed,
New York Giants Ring of Honor member, Ernie Accorsi
joesakic91 AJ smith didn’t waste Rivers career. Spanos and his mismanagement ruined it for him. We all know that Rivers is better than Manning. The only reason Eli has those rings Is because the Giants Defense carried him there lol
@@Misfit_Z71 But Eli Manning still have to lead the Giants offense to the game-winning points against Tom Brady and the Patriots in SBs 42 and 46.
That's why Eli Manning was voted Super Bowl MVP in both of those Super Bowls.
Without Eli Manning's heroics and beating Brady at his own game which was game-winning drives, Michael Strahan and Justin Tuck don't have Super Bowl rings on their fingers.
You don't know anything about winning.
joesakic91 sounds like I rustled someone’s jimmies for having a different opinion and apparently I don’t know anything about winning. If that’s what helps you get through the day then I’m all for it buddy.
@@Misfit_Z71 Well, your opinion doesn't hold water.
So by your logic, Tom Brady was carried by Adam Vinatieri, Tedy Bruschi and Bill Belichick in his six Super Bowl titles? Was John Elway carried by Terrell Davis, Jason Elam and Steve Atwater for his back-to-back Super Bowl titles in 1997 and 1998? Did Joe Montana let Jerry Rice, Charles Haley and Bill Walsh to a dynasty in the 1980s for the San Francisco 49ers?
See, you don't know anything about winning. Sure, football is a team sport, but you still need a QB to come up clutch in crunch time especially in the playoffs. That's why the QB gets more regular season and Super Bowl MVPs.
As a Detroit fan, watching other suffer is the only joy that can satiate me anymore.
Such is the effect the crush of time on lions fans has caused
Detroit can't seem to turn things around even if they put themselves in a position to do such thing
This is the epitome of the term life isn't fair.
For the first time in over a year, we have a legacy of failure video. What a time to be alive.
God rest your soul Marty Schottenheimer. At least you are now at peace, free from the pain. God rest his soul. I hope one day he does be part of Canton.
May he Rest In Peace
