Tennessee Titans assistant head coach Terrell Williams and New York Jets defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich will serve as the head coaches at the Reese’s Senior Bowl on Feb. 3.

For the second year in a row, the Senior Bowl is using assistant coaches from across the NFL instead of the full coaching staffs from two teams to guide the all-star squads.

Williams will lead the American team, and Ulbrich will guide the National team.

“We’re excited about having two highly respected coaches like Jeff Ulbrich and Terrell Williams lead our teams here in Mobile,” said Jim Nagy, the executive director of the Reese’s Senior Bowl. “I’ve spoken with coaches and executives from around the league about both men, and they have excellent reputations as communicators and motivators. I had a chance to observe Jeff down here at the Senior Bowl two years ago when the Jets staff coached in the game, and he brought tons of juice to his defensive players, so I know he’ll bring great energy to the role. I met Terrell years ago when he was the defensive-line coach at Purdue and always came away impressed with how he connected with his guys at practice.

“Our players are going to have a great week working under these two men.”

The coordinators for the American team are New England Patriots wide-receivers coach Troy Brown, offensive; Cleveland Browns defensive-backs coach Ephraim Banda, defensive; and New York Giants assistant special-teams coach Mike Adams, special teams.

“I’m super excited about the opportunity to coach in the 2024 Senior Bowl,” Williams said in a release from the Senior Bowl. “It’s a great opportunity to help these college players get some exposure into what professional football is all about. I’m very thankful to Mike Vrabel for nominating me for this honor. I’m looking forward to working with coaches and other Senior Bowl personnel to make sure this is a great experience for the players.”

The coordinators for the National team are Giants quarterbacks coach Shea Tierney, offensive; Minnesota Vikings defensive-backs coach Daronte Jones, defensive; and New Orleans Saints assistant special-teams coach Phil Galiano, special teams.

Tierney was an offensive analyst on Nick Saban’s Alabama staff in the 2016 and 2017 seasons.

“I’m extremely honored to be chosen as one of the head coaches for the Senior Bowl,” Ulbrich said in a release from the Senior Bowl. “This game has featured some of the greatest players in NFL history and remains as one of the highest honors that can be given to a college football player. It also has consistently given under-the-radar players from big and small schools alike an opportunity to compete against the best, compete in a venue with the guidance of NFL coaches and get unrivaled exposure to every NFL team.

“This game is also a critical part of my story. I played in the 2000 Senior Bowl and went from a potentially undrafted rookie to a third-round pick, which is actually pretty common throughout the history of this storied game. Again, I’m honored and excited about helping and guiding the newest class of NFL players through this amazing week. Can’t wait to see everyone in Mobile.”

In the “Coach Up” format, coordinators and assistant coaches are placed into elevated or different roles from the ones they hold. Head coaches and general managers from non-playoff teams and wild-card round participants were allowed to nominate assistant coaches. A group of league office executives and representatives from the General Managers Advisory Committee selected the Senior Bowl staffs, and at least one coach from all 18 teams that submitted nominations was chosen for this year’s game.

The 75th annual Reese’s Senior Bowl will kick off at noon CST Feb. 3 at Hancock Whitney Stadium in Mobile. Tickets can be purchased online.
