Coaching staffs
North
With the worst record (1–15) during the 2007 NFL season, the Miami Dolphins were originally slated to coach the North squad.[4] However, after all but two members of the coaching staff were fired the Dolphins became ineligible for the duties.[4] They were replaced by head coach Lane Kiffin and the Oakland Raiders, who went 4–12 in 2007.[5]
South
San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Nolan and his staff coached the South squad for the third consecutive year after going 5–11 in 2007.[6]
Sponsor
The clothing company Under Armour sponsored the event for the second consecutive year. The company also provided apparel for the game, including "newly-designed, state-of-the-art game jerseys."[7]
