The fact that they respect what I do enough to name me as a full-time coach, or to name me as the first female coach in the NHL, I take a ton of pride in that.

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way.

How great will be revealed in the next couple of days at the board of governors meeting in Pebble Beach, Calif.IRVINE, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Rams are trying to wrap up contract extensions for Jeff Fisher and general manager Les Snead prior to the start of the regular season, according to ESPNs Adam Schefter.Both are entering the final year of their contracts.Asked at a media session Sunday if he hoped to have the extension finalized before the regular-season opener, Fisher neither confirmed nor denied discussions were underway.I dont know where those reports came from, and Ive never gotten into the details regarding my own personal situation, Fisher said. Well see what happens.Fisher has never had a winning season in his four years with the Rams, going 27-36-1 overall. In his 16-plus years coaching the Houston/Tennessee Titans, he went 142-120. He had six winning seasons. But Fisher is a Los Angeles product, having gone to Taft High School in Woodland Hills and USC. He was the Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator in 1991. And he was instrumental in helping the Rams move from St. Louis back to Los Angeles this offseason.Typically, hhowever, coaches who have never had a winning season with a franchise are not in discussions about a contract extension.ddddddddddddBut the Rams do not want Fisher to enter the season with it being the final year on his contract. And both sides want to complete the deal and expect it to happen, league sources told Schefter.Fisher had expressed frustrations over his teams past performance and approach on the Rams debut segment in HBOs Hard Knocks documentary series.Little things are important, you follow me? Fisher said in a team meeting. I am not f---ing going 7-9 or 8-8 or 9-7, OK? Or 10-6 for that matter. This team is too talented. I am not going to settle for that, OK? I know what I am doing. We had some 7-9 bulls--- this morning. Now, Deons gone. That is 7-9 bulls---. We dont need it.On Saturday night, the Rams made their comeback to Los Angeles beating the Cowboys 28-24 in their preseason opener. ' ' '
