Contents

North

With the worst record (1–15) during the 2007 NFL season, the Miami Dolphins were originally slated to coach the North squad. However, after all but two members of the coaching staff were fired the Dolphins became ineligible for the duties. They were replaced by head coach Lane Kiffin and the Oakland Raiders, who went 4–12 in 2007.

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.

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."
