[KC Chiefs.com] Chiefs Chairman Clark Hunt announced today that Marty Schottenheimer will be the 2010 inductee into the Chiefs Hall of Fame. The 40th member of this prestigious group, Schottenheimer will be enshrined into the Chiefs Hall of Fame during festivities at Chiefs Alumni Weekend this fall. He will also be honored in a ceremony at halftime of that weekend’s game.
Schottenheimer joins Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinee Hank Stram as the only other coach to be inducted into the Chiefs Hall of Fame. During Schottenheimer’s 10-year run as Chiefs head coach from ’89-98, Kansas City compiled 101 regular season victories, the highest total during any 10-year span in the franchise’s 50-year history. Schottenheimer guided the club to seven playoff appearances and coached in 10 postseason contests, the highest totals of any Chiefs head coach.

I think that Marty is very worthy of being there. He dominated the 90′s, but just couldn’t get us to the big game.

I know Marty never got us to the big game, but I sure would like this team to get back to where we were when Marty was the coach. At least we went to the playofrfs every year. It is better then finishing last! Well deserved for Marty.

I agree that Marty deserves it, he knew how to win games. Too bad we couldn’t have had Dicky V’s offense with Marty’s defense.

If im not mistaken Dick Vermeil didnt get us to the Super Bowl either and he only gave us a couple good years..Marty S made the Chiefs dominate in the 90s just couldnt get us to the big dance.
