Marty was about to go to the Super Bowl with Cleveland and Byner fumbles as he is about to score a TD, and the play is so infamous, if you Google "The Drive" the first search result is about that play. (Then the next year Elway pulls off The Drive, but that was on the defense) THE LOSS IS NOT MARTY'S FAULT
Marty was going to the Super Bowl with San Diego, and in the pregame he walked up to each DB and told them that when they caught the game clenching interception, to just go down. What did the DB do? He tried to return it and got stripped and the Patriots go to the Super Bowl. THE LOSS IS NOT MARTY'S FAULT
And in Kansas City he is about to go to the Super Bowl, and Kimble Anders drops a pass on the goal line, and then Montana get a concussion, and he loses to the Bill's. If Joe doesn't leave that game, we had a legitimate chance. This loss is partially on Marty, but not really.
Then he has an all time defense, and his kicker misses 3 field goals. Why did the kicker miss 3 easy, kicks? Because the President/GM decided to cut/not resign the second most accurate FG kicker ever (at the time) because he wanted to save about $1,000,000 dollars, even though the team had money to spend against the cap. The President/GM was just greedy. This loss was on Peterson.
Each of those franchises were absolute garbage, bottom barrel teams when he became the HC, and except for some freak plays, he would have taken every one of them to the Super Bowl.
Which of these records belongs to Andy Reid?
200–126–1 (.613)
207–128–1 (.618)
Yes, Marty Schottenheimer is arguably a better coach than Andy Reid. The word arguably doesn't mean what several people on CP think it means, apparently.
Saying that Marty is arguably better than Andy means it could be argued. What he accomplished in Cleveland, Kansas City, and San Diego given the state of those teams when he took over, is more impressive than what Reid did in Philly and Kansas City.
