Maiocco: Hoener likely the next O.C.

by Josh from Hollywood on Feb 22, 2007 6:37 PM PST

Matt Maiocco, the 49ers beat writer for the Press Democrat, writes in his blog that he thinks TE coach Pete Hoener is the most likely candidate to replace Norv Turner as offensive coordinator. According to Maiocco's most recent post, Hoener has more experience as a play caller (though exclusively at the college level) than the rest of the staff combined, was schooled in Turner's system, and spent a lot of time working with both Turner and McCarthy the last 2 seasons. He also confirms that keeping the same offensive scheme is a priority to Nolan.

Alright

I will be perfectly happy with this. Or, I assume I will. The jury is still probably out on that one.

I keep reliving the moment when Steve Young almost fell down... over and over...

Hoerner

I was watching a series on ESPN covering a couple of rookies and their transition into the NFL. They had Mario Williams, Reggie Bush, Vince Young, Vernon Davis and Jeremy Bloom (who was later replaced by Maurice Jones-Drew after Bloom was IR'd). Anyways I really liked what I say from Hoener while working with Davis, I think this could be a pretty good move. Now we just need to turn Davis into that receiving threat we drafted him to be.
