    GREAT opportunity for us to really scout out the top seniors in this draft class.

    The season isn't over just yet for both the Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions, or at least not for their coaching staffs. Both staffs have been selected to coach the 2010 Under Armour Senior Bowl. The Dolphins will coach the South squad in Mobile later this month, while the Lions will head up the North.

    This is the fourth time the Dolphins have coached in the Senior Bowl and first since the 1994 game. Legendary Dolphins coach Don Shula coached the three previous trips to Mobile, going 2-1 overall with wins in the 1987 and 1994 Senior Bowls and a loss in the 1977 contest.

    Current Miami Head Coach Tony Sparano will be coaching the Senior Bowl for the first time in his career, but the Dolphins are no strangers to the talent that arrives in Mobile each January. Miami selected two Senior Bowlers in last year's NFL Draft, including the 2009 Under Armour Senior Bowl Most Valuable Player - quarterback Pat White.

    "My staff and I are looking forward to coaching in the Senior Bowl," Sparano said. "The Senior Bowl's outstanding track record and history of developing players for the National Football League is well-known and we're excited to have the opportunity to work with these young players in preparation for the next stage of their careers."

    The Dolphins went 7-9 in 2009 and own the 12th pick in April's draft. They currently have 14 former Senior Bowlers on their active roster, including four-time Pro Bowl linebacker Joey Porter (1999 Senior Bowl) and quarterbacks Chad Henne (2008 Senior Bowl) and Chad Pennington (2000 Senior Bowl).

    The 2010 Under Armour Senior Bowl is scheduled for January 30th at 4 p.m. (ET) in Mobile's Ladd-Peebles Stadium. The game and all practices will be televised by the NFL Network.

    Roster -

    Ohio's Taylor Price is in it too but he's not listed yet. The list above is not one of the roster separated, that's just all the players taking part in the game so far.

    All of our coaches are going to be in Alabama? I do not like the sound of this.

    Afraid Dick Satan might corrupt them? I think he's back in his dungeon planning his next evil move, so no worries.

    Absolutely love the idea of the coaching staff having a hands on look on many prospects.
    The great thing about the Senior Bowl is that it is not like the common "All-Star" game. It is an event which is heavily scrutinized by scouts, and front office brass.
    The players have to bring their A game to each practice to improve their stock.

    Hopefully Tony gets in the trenches and does some 1 on 1 coaching with Terrance Cody, and Dan Williams. Not to mention they got a first shot at taking a look at some potential rush OLBs which may be available in some of the later rounds.

    It's like Christmas for a coaching staff to work with prospects before the draft.

    Very cool, this is a great thing for us IMO. Its going to give our coaches a chance to really get to know some of these kids really early in the process. We should end up with awfully large scouting reports from not only our scouts, but our coaches. The value in that, is tremendous.

    Can't wait to watch this.

    Hmmm... think we can sneak Henne in as a 'ball boy" to throw warm up passes to the WR prospects during practice? lol.
