The Facts:
The 49ers announced on Wednesday that Mike Nolan has committed to his goal of retaining the offensive structure by promoting Jim Hostler from quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator. Hostler spent the last two seasons as QBs coach for the 49ers. "Hostler has his roots in the offensive system that we ran last year," said Nolan. "I stated that it was my intent to keep the system intact."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Hostler was originally named the team's QB coach on February 1, 2005. He served as the primary tutor to 2005 first overall pick lex Smith. Nolan added: "Jim was instrumental in the implementation of our offense last season. He is a disciplined teacher, which is extremely important to any coach who is on our staff. ..." But not as important as the continuity gained from a coach already familiar with the scheme already in place -- a move that should benefit Smith and Frank Gore.
