Kansas City Chiefs fans share memories of Marty Schottenheimer after his death

RIP Marty Schottenheimer. My first memories and the teams I fell in love with were his Chiefs teams. Watched many, many great games in Section 324, 311 and 117. Forever an icon in #ChiefsKingdom Rest well Coach ️

#ChiefsKingdom is what it is because of Marty Schottenheimer. He developed the fandom and mystique Arrowhead is known for with those defenses.

RIP, Marty.

He turned KC around! After years of sucking he bright a new attitude and the discipline needed to win. Appreciate him always for that.

Marty along with Carl Peterson, made the Chiefs relevant again . Before Marty , I honestly remember when you could not give a Chiefs ticket away. Marty brought football back to KC. Prayers to the family

Marty played a huge role in changing the culture for our @Chiefs I wish we could have gotten over the hump and giving him the Super Bowl title he deserved. #ChiefsKingdom will never forget him!

RIP Coach

I started watching football just a couple of seasons before Marty was hired. He helped change everything about Kansas City Chiefs football and is as big of a reason as anybody why I'm such a big fan of the team https://t.co/4ISZeawG6t

There was a time when I watched NFL football (@Chiefs) religiously. With my grandpa. Those were good memories.

Marty was our coach back then and that's the way I will always remember him.#RIP #ChiefsKingdom https://t.co/xxVd3M8NyS

So sad to hear the news about Marty.
He was mainly responsible for bringing the Chiefs back to respectability and winning ways during the dark days of this franchise. Rest In Peace Marty.
He was 77.

Thank you, Marty, for resurrecting the @Chiefs in the 90s. Thank you for being a great leader of men. And for being a good man. I took this pic in 2016 in what I believe was Marty’s last public appearance at Arrowhead. #RIPMarty #ChiefsKingdom @kytv pic.twitter.com/eYBsOsqN03

Marty was the first NFL coach I covered. He was terrific- especially will young reporters - about telling you what he was thinking and the whys and why nots. He was the coach who led the #Chiefs rebirth and made them “must see.” Loved “Martyball.” The best. #RIP https://t.co/dALLPkIBfk

This man is almost single-handedly responsible for fostering my love of football. I grew up a @Chiefs fan, but Marty's arrival fostered an absolute passion for the team and the game. It was years of elation and heartbreak, and it was wonderful. RIP Coach.#ChiefsKingdom https://t.co/9N3CkJxYYw
