Regular-season record: 200-126-1
Postseason record: 5-13

Cleveland Browns, 1984-1988
Kansas City Chiefs, 1989-1998
Washington Redskins, 2001
San Diego Chargers, 2002-2006

There are a handful of NFL accomplishments we can safely say will never be matched. One I’m pretty sure about is what happened to Marty Schottenheimer after the 2006 season in San Diego — he was fired following a 14-2 season in which the Chargers were booted in the divisional round by the Patriots, and the three games the Chargers lost that season were all by three points. Still, Schottenheimer was cashiered due to a power struggle with then-general manager A.J. Smith, and that was the end of his NFL coaching career. But he did get to consecutive AFC Championship Games with the Browns in 1986 and 1987, losing both in heartbreaking fashion (The Drive and The Fumble) to the Broncos. That was as close as Schottenheimer ever got to a Super Bowl, though he had just two losing seasons in a 21-year career and is one of eight coaches in NFL history with 200 wins.
