Wow, didn't know he was in bad shape. Sad to hear. ESPN scrolling it now.
Edit: ESPN
Former NFL head coach Marty Schottenheimer was moved to a hospice facility near his home in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Saturday because of complications from Alzheimer's disease, his family said Wednesday in a statement given to ESPN's Chris Mortensen.
He is listed in stable condition.
Schottenheimer, who coached the Browns, Chiefs, Washington and Chargers, posted a 205-139-1 career record, including the playoffs. He was named the NFL's Coach of the Year in 2004 with the Chargers. His NFL career ended in 2006 following a 14-2 season with the Chargers and a divisional-round exit from the playoffs.
Schottenheimer also played six seasons as a linebacker for the Bills (1965 to 1968) and Patriots (1969 to 1970).

I watched my great-grandmother slip away because of it and it really hurt to watch. She was such a sweet lady who absolutely loved my cousins and me. She'd always have sweets to give us when she came to grandma and grandpa's house for Sunday brunch.

Keep that glean, Marty.
One of my favorites. God bless him.

Lost my grandma to dementia in 2009. It is brutal.

Always one of my favorites. Dude got bent over and took it in San Diego at the end. He shouldn't of been fired. The Chargers haven't been the same since.

That was tough to watch. He knew he was losing it and then he would just forget right in the moment. Frick that disease.

to live such a great life and go out like that is sad
