The Strength Coach, Greg Smith, was pleased to attend the 55th annual Senior Bowl, football's premier pre-draft showcase, on Jan. 24 in Mobile's Ladd-Peebles Stadium.  Ninety-six of the nation's top senior NFL draft prospects took the field in the game, which served as the climax to a week-long series of practice sessions and special events, attended by more than 800 general managers, head coaches, assistants, scouts and other front office personnel from the National Football League.

It is the only event which features the country's top senior draft prospects on team's coached by National Football League coaching staffs. San Diego Chargers head coach Marty Schottenheimer and his staff coached the South squad in this year's game, while Marvin Lewis and his Cincinnati Bengals coaching staff coached the North team.

A sellout crowd filled 40,646-seat Ladd-Peebles Stadium for the contest presented by Food World, marking the game's 10th consecutive sellout. ESPN followed all of the game action with television coverage and a live Web cast.

Sean Salisbury from ESPN stood outside the broadcsat booth after the Senior Bowl, Jan. 24, 2004, and reflected on the "good ole days" when he was a quarterback at USC and Greg did the radio play-by-play at Arizona State.

Cincinnati Bengals Head Coach Marvin Lewis loved the concept of "The Strength Coach" and chuckled immediately when he heard the name.  The two coaches met at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, AL, Jan. 24, 2004.

Coach Marvin Lewis delivers positive mental nourishment in defeat.   After losing to the South 28-10, he reminds his players that everyone in the room has the potential to be an NFL player, and that not one of them is out of place.
