I'm a bit older now - but back in the day, I would have ran through a brick wall for that man!

Made chiefs football relevant - and with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight - I much prefer the defenses we had in the early 90s and a good ground game, to the vermeil offense and clown-shoes defense of the early 2000s.

we all hated him for the playoff failures, but goddamned was he not a good person and a grounded lifestyle.

hind sight says he's top three in kc, imo? :D

Who could hate Marty he lived and breathed football. He had legendary stubbornness which I think is a trait of good coaches. You dont win flying by the seat of your pants and changing as the wind blows. Marty was to defense what Vermeil was to offense. Neither could put O and D together in KC but they had great teams that made things exciting.

Marty came to town shortly after We moved here. I saw the Chiefs go from being an outright JOKE of monumental proportions to perennial contenders each year. Sure, the man had his shortcomings - but like you - I would have walked on broken glass for the guy.

The 90s defenses were OUTSTANDING. We could use a dose of that "smash mouth" stuff again...

Every time I have watched that documentary, it breaks my heart. Just like every time I see "A football life" about Derrick Thomas - I get "emotional"....

Nobody deserved a ring more than this guy. If he had Ned Yost's luck, he would have had 5 or 6.

Agree about the defenses and Vermeil.
Chiefs defense was brutal and exciting in those days. Now that we have Mahomes, we can get back to work building an extraordinary defense. I contend that Pat Mahomes requires only a maximum of two key players on offense to make hay at any given time. That said and understood, we can stack up on defense, and load up on key players. This will ensure dominance for years to come.

I'd rather watch paint dry than watch anything about Marty Schottenheimer.
