MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - The Tennessee Titans' Jeff Fisher and Mike Nolan of the San Francisco 49ers will coach in the Senior Bowl along with their staffs.

The NFL selects the coaching staffs for the Jan. 28 game, an audition for senior prospects. Fisher and his staff will coach the North, and Nolan and his staff the South, it was announced Thursday.

Nolan has been an assistant coach in the Senior Bowl four times, the latest when he was Washington's defensive coordinator in 1998.

``I think coaching in the Senior Bowl is a great opportunity and a blessing for the entire San Francisco 49ers organization,'' Nolan said. ``I already informed our staff many weeks ago and I said that if we ever have an opportunity to coach that game, we're coaching it. That's the best way to evaluate players that I've come to know.''

Fisher also coached in the game as a Philadelphia assistant in 1990.

``To get hands-on work with these players is invaluable and we look forward to getting to Mobile later this month,'' he said.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
