R.I.P. Marty Schottenheimer

[Parcells]

Quite frankly (that ones for you Coach, he said it often) - this was sad news to read . God speed to you and your family

We - two little letters. W - E. Powerful men. Powerful!!


And the best Marty quote ever (paraphrasing) - "No way the MFing Raiders are scoring tonight!!"

I'm pretty sure it was, "Don't let them in the fucking end zone!" That was week 1 2006, which happened to be the first start of Rivers' career.

Thoughts and prayers to Marty and his family. Thanks for the great times. He took over and really helped us rebuild.

Yep -Rivers first start
Monday Night Football
Chargers won 27 zip and I am not sure the game was even that close
Total Domination


God speed Marty!

I remember going to a pizza joint with a couple of friends to watch that game, one was a big Raider fan He was running his mouth how the Raiders were going to beat the snot out of the Chargers and their new QB. He left in the 3rd quarter.

I think Rivers threw the ball like 11 times (goes to google, confirmed, 8 for 11 for 108 yards)

But Marty S - hope he is now in peace or very soon
My Dad had the same disease - terrible disease.

Article on Marty's winning ways despite never spending multiple seasons with a franchise quarterback.

10 of his 13 playoff losses came against teams with HOFers at qb.

He went into those playoff games with the likes of: a shot dave krieg, elvis grbac, steve bono, steve deberg/mark vlasic, mike pagel

When he lost games with Brees, Rivers, Kosar....something weird always happened: the fumble, a kaeding shank, marlon mcree.

Andy Reid kept on losing playoff games with Alex Smith.

no doubt in my mind:

Marty was coach 2007-2010 Chargers would have won it all

I'm at a loss for words.

If there was one guy you just wish could win a Super Bowl ring, this is the one guy.

Sad to hear. Thoughts and prayers to that family.

Marty at HC was my favorite era of Chargers football.
