Former Cleveland Browns head coach Marty Schottenheimer has passed away following a seven-year battle with Alzheimer’s.
He was 77 years old.
Longtime NFL insider Chris Mortensen reported early on Tuesday the passing of Schottenheimer, who was placed in hospice care last week.
Schottenheimer was a head coach in the NFL for 21 seasons, coaching with the Browns for five seasons, the Kansas City Chiefs for 10, the San Diego Chargers for five and the Washington Redskins for one.
He is best known as a great regular season coach who motivated his players to be better than they were.
