- Former Chargers coach was No 8 on list for NFL victories
- Regular seasons success was not matched in playoffs
Marty Schottenheimer, who won 200 regular-season games with four NFL teams thanks to his “Martyball” brand of smash-mouth football but regularly fell short in the playoffs, has died. He was 77.
Schottenheimer died on Monday night at a hospice in Charlotte, North Carolina, according to his family. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2014. He was moved to a hospice last month.
