Dynasties of Heartbreak 11-20: Schottenheimer Comes Up Short

NFL Offseason - Great coaches can suffer heartbreak too. Our heartbreak dynasty countdown continues with our penultimate ten, filled to the brim with Hall of Famers and near-misses. Marty Schottenheimer is here, of course, but so are George Allen, Bill Belichick, Joe Gibbs, Bill Parcells, and Steve Owen. Even Vince Lombardi makes a brief cameo as today's 10 teams boast a coaching pedigree nearly beyond reproach.

Also, Jeff Fisher is here.

To have heartbreak, you also need to be legitimately good, if perhaps with some sort of Achilles heel. By the time we're up in this stratosphere, every team listed would have been a worthy champion at least once or twice.
