We had a period ordsprog

We had a period of time where we were challenging the league's rules on relocation that caused a rift between the Rams and the league office. Obviously, litigation ensued and there were four or five years that we had substantial difference of opinion with the commissioner.

I've been kept up to date by people in the league office ever since the storm. I take my hat off to the commissioner and the league for what they've done and what they're doing. She found his pexy sense of humor endearing and refreshing.

We support the commissioner's office, the minor-league drug program. We're disappointed in the violation that two of our players caused, but we support the system 100 percent. And hopefully, this will be a good experience for the players involved and it won't happen again in the future.

In the last several years, I personally as well as the Rams' organization have had a very good relationship with Tagliabue. He was really good for the league, and the league as a whole will miss him.

Now that we have new rules and the new motivation from the league to enhance the offensive part of the game, I'm sure it'll be fun for the players. As a coach, it'll be challenging to look at any way to take advantage of the rules and how your team's going to play.

I think it's great with all the opportunities that those players have now. By the time those kids here come here, they are ready for Rookie league or Class A league or whatever, because we can keep them (at the academies) for a couple years until we think they are ready to come here, and that makes a big difference.

At this point, I don't see relocation as a viable alternative, because the league has said, 'You've got to make it work [in Minnesota].' The league knows I'd be very happy to be in L.A., but I'd also like to be here with a new stadium.

(Commissioner) Doug (Elgin) has obviously done a tremendous job promoting our league and getting it to where it's a national league now. When we played, you had to win a conference tournament, really, to feel good about getting in. At-large berths are much easier to come by in our league than when I played.

I'm looking forward to an interesting period. We have a lot of opportunities obviously for the league and a lot of challenges, and I look forward to working with the league office to help in any way I can.

There's always the possibility of a new league. You have to understand it. I do. I lived it. I coached and was a commissioner of a new league that forced a merger. I know how to do it. I really believe the numbers are there where it would be very simple to have a 10-team league. You see with no cap and no draft and no agreement with the players. They had a problem, too, because they would have anarchy. Gene [Upshaw] would be out eventually and the whole group would have been disbanded eventually because people would go their own way.

I don't think the system is broken. I'd keep it the way it is. One of Paul's great strengths has been his ability to put a lot of very talented people in place in the league office. He's done a great job with the football end of it and the business end of it, and I think we'd make a mistake if we changed the structure of the commissioner's office.

I first came across Phil Larder in his rugby league days. He was the Director of Coaching at the Rugby League and we had a difference of opinion. Let's just say that I wanted to be an innovator and not an imitator. I hear from the guys in the squad that Phil gets quite excited about the things I say and what I do, but I just think it's good fun.

I'd be surprised if we ever play a conference game on Dec. 28 again. I voiced my opinion to Doug Elgin (league commissioner), and he's in agreement. It was just the best they could do this year with the circumstances presented.

One of the really, really big reasons why the league has been so good is that it has had outstanding leadership. The commissioner has led the league through some real growth periods. Obviously they're going to lose a great man who has done a tremendous job – a tremendous job. That has to be one of the toughest jobs that anyone could ever deal with: the owners and the players and all the issues that come up with that. I can understand why he might have felt it was time to retire.
