On Wednesday afternoon, it was reported that former Chargers head coach Marty Schottenheimer had been moved into a hospice facility near his home in Charlotte, North Carolina this past Saturday.
The 77-year old Schottenheimer was diagnosed with Alzheimers back in 2014 and recently experienced some complications from his condition.
In a public memo from his family, Pat Schottenheimer, his wife, said they are “surrounding him with love and are soaking up the prayers and support from all those he impacted through his incredible life.”
Schottenheimer was hired as the head coach of the Chargers prior to the 2002 NFL season.
