If Cowher is the jackpot, Schottenheimer is one hell of a consolation prize.
He’s been a head coach for 21 NFL seasons and during that span his teams made the postseason 13 times. He’s coached four teams and none of them had losing records during his tenure. He coached in Cleveland for five years and made the playoffs four times and then took Kansas City to the postseason in seven of 10 seasons. He also turned around a dreadful San Diego squad and went 14-2 in 2006 before losing in the first round of the playoffs, Schottenheimer’s final year in the league.
In total, Schottenheimer led-teams reached double digit victories 11 times. Perhaps more astounding, with the exception of the 4-12 Chargers in 2003 a Schottenheimer-coached team never won less than seven games. That’s not a misprint, not even once. He’s 74 games over .500 for his career.
