Marty Schottenheimer never won a Super Bowl, but he didn't have too.He'll always be a remembered as a winner.Schottenheimer, 77, died Tuesday after a lengthy battle with Alzheimers disease.Hewon with a"one play at a time"philosophy that led to200regular-season wins eighth most all time among NFL coaches.That legacy is under-valued in retrospect, and one that will need further examination from the Pro Football Hall of Fame.MORE: Schottenheimerbelongs in Treylon Burks Jersey the Hall of Fame based on a colorful career that stretched over three decades and four teamsin the Super bowl era.Heaccomplishedthat with a detail-oriented style complete and a knack for getting the most out of his players.He had a playbook full ofmotivationalspeeches none more popular than"The Gleam.""There's a gleam, men."Marty's inspirational words hit differently today. Rest in Peace Coach Schottenheimer. NFL Films (@NFLFilms) Schottenheimer never experienced the shine of the Super Bowlas a head coach,adetail that should not overshadow the succe s he had over 20 full seasons.Schottenheimer had one losing season through stints with Cleveland, Kansas City, Washington Jamarco Jones Jersey and San Diego. He had 11 seasons with 10 or more wins and five seasons with 12 or more wins.He brought succe s to unlikely places.Cleveland had its best run of the Super Bowl era with Schottenheimer from 1984 to 1988. The Browns were 44-27in that stretch. The Dawg Pound was born. Schottenheimer won three AFC Central Division titlesfrom 1986 to 1988. The franchise has won one since.That succe s came with back-to-back AFC championship appearances that ended in heartbreaking fashion with"The Drive"and"The Fumble"against the Denver Broncos.Schottenheimer, however, showed what that franchise can be at max value which is what Kevin Stefanski is finally tapping back into now.Schottenheimer was 101-58-1 from 1989 to 1997 in Kansas City. The Chiefshad made two playoff appearances in two decades before his arrival."Marty Ball"worked again. The Chiefs made seven playoff appearances in 10 seasons. Kansas City made its first AFC championship game since the merger in 1993. Schottenheimer couldnt push 13-win teams to that spotlight in 1995 and 1997 after upset lo ses in the divisional round.Still, that succe s in Kansas City established a standard Schottenheimer preached about a higher standard that has elevated the franchise to its currentheights with Andy Reid.Schottenheimer also groomed future Super Bowl-winning coaches Bill Cowher and Tony Dungy.Cowher was one of the many coaches who paid tribute to Schottenheimer on Tuesday.Marty, you always Eddie George Jersey said, "There's a gleam, men!" It's true, and that gleam is, and always was, YOU. Rest in peace Coach, love you. Bill Cowher (@CowherCBS) MORE: Schottenheimers one-year stint as coach and general manager with Washington in 2001 producedan 8-8 record, and that should be considered a succe s given that the franchise has had two winning seasons and six different head coaches since.The laststint in San Diego took more time, and Schottenheimer had his lone losing season in2003. The Chargers bounced back with playoff appearances in 2004 and 2006 and the latter team finished 14-2 before losing to New England in the divisional playoffs. Schottenheimer did leave San Diego with a future Hall of Fame quarterback in Philip Rivers, who also never experienced the Super Bowl.Rivers will end up in Canton at some point. Schottenheimer, even as a posthumous enshrine, should be there, too.Is the lack of a Super Bowl appearance Breon Borders Jersey the only thing keeping him out?Paul Brown wonaNFL championship, and Sid Gillman won an AFL championship. Every other modern-era Hall of Fame coach appeared in at least one Super Bowl. George Allen, Bud Grant and Marv Levyare the three who didnt win a championship.Schottenheimerfinished more games over .500 than Grant, hada higher winning percentage than Levy and a better playoff winning percentage than Allen.He is at minimum in that weight cla s of all-time coaches.Schottenheimer was an all-time winner, but he was more than that. A look at the overflow of tributes from former players and coaches showed just how much the coach reached all four places he coached.Coach Marty Thank U For All Youve Done & Ment In Mine & So Many of Our Lives U Will Be Greatly Mi sed For The Luv Of The Game U Matter Bernie Kosar (@BernieKosarQB) Schottenheimer left that legacy. Afierywinner. Amasterfulmotivator. Atirele scoach whochased the Lombardi Trophylooking for that Super Bowl ring. He never left any of those teams with a losing record. He didnt get tohoist thattrophy, but he always pursued it.We would love to hear Schottenheimer talk about that one last time, and we wish it could have been done in Canton."The A.J. Moore Jr. Jersey Gleam"will always be there.He represents all those who will forever chase it.
