NFL: Coach Marty Schottenheimer Dies after Alzheimer’s Battle

Marty Schottenheimer, who coached 21 years in the NFL and had only two losing seasons, died on Monday at age 77 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease.

Schottenheimer’s conservative approach didn’t lead to a championship, but he was a master motivator who got the most out of his players for more than two decades as a head coach.
