From the 49ers Official Website- Jim Hostler Offensive Coordinator
Hostler said his familiarity with the current coaching staff and players will help make the transition seamless as he leads the offense in 2007. “I can’t say enough about the 49ers coaching staff,†Hostler said. “I’ve had a chance to watch two offensive coordinators work with the staff in the past, utilize the staff tremendously in game planning, and understand all of their strengths, so I have a good foundation of how to use the guys and we have a great working relationship together. I’m very confident in that aspect of it as we move forward.†A first time coordinator, Hostler impressed Head Coach Mike Nolan throughout his interview process. “Jim had the most comprehensive view of the offense as the quarterbacks coach. That was big to me,” Nolan said. “He’s also built a solid relationship with Alex Smith over the past two years.” During the interview process, Nolan saw many of his own traits in Hostler as he presented. As a younger coach, Nolan put together his own defensive game plans when he tutored the Denver Broncos linebackers under Dan Reeves in the early 1990’s. So when he became the Giants’ defensive coordinator in 1993, he was already a step ahead in terms of preparation. “As I interviewed Jim, I was very impressed that he had been creating his own game plans each week the last few years,” Nolan said. “He brought out the game plans that he had been putting together for every game. I never saw them, because all I wanted to see the last two years was our actual coordinator’s game plan, but Jim brought his to me.” Though Hostler is excited about the opportunity to coordinate the 49ers offense, he’s also quick to give credit to the coaches that shaped him into the person he is today. “The opportunity given to me is a credit to the great offensive coaching staff here,†Hostler explained. “That had a lot to do with my success and where I’m at today. I’ve also had a tremendous network of coaches in my past who have helped me get to the spot I’m in right now. There have been many great coaches that have influenced me over the years such as Jimmy Raye, Paul Hackett, Mike McCarthy and Frank Cignetti (Sr.), who I worked under for ten years at IUP. Those coaches, along with Norv Turner, have had a lot to do with where I’m at, how I look at the game and how I coach the game. Those guys have done a tremendous job in training me and preparing me for this next step. I’m confident that what I’ve learned from them will be carried over in the future.†Hostler joined San Francisco after spending two seasons with the New York Jets as the team’s wide receivers coach (2004) and quarterbacks coach (2003). He joined the Jets after serving as an offensive assistant/quality control coach and assistant wide receivers coach (2001-02) for the New Orleans Saints. Hostler began his NFL coaching career with the Kansas City Chiefs as an offensive assistant/quality control coach (2000). Over his eight-year NFL run, Hostler has helped tutor a lineage of talents including QB Chad Pennington, QB Vinny Testaverde, WR Santana Moss, WR Wayne Chrebet and WR Justin McCareins with the Jets. He also coached 2002 first round draft selection WR Donte Stallworth as a member of the Saints coaching staff. Hostler cut his coaching teeth at his alma mater, Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP). He spent nine seasons at IUP and helped the Indians qualify for the NCAA Division II playoffs five times, including one trip to the National Championship game (1990). As a member of the IUP coaching staff, Hostler served in a number of capacities, including time as the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach (1999), linebackers coach (1997-98) and running backs coach (1990-92, 1994-96). Hostler also spent the 1993 campaign as the offensive coordinator at Juniata (Pa.) College. A four-year standout at IUP (1986-89), Hostler was a four-year letter winner and two-time all conference selection at cornerback. He also helped the Indians capture two Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference titles and make three trips to the Division II playoffs while compiling a 38-9 record. Hostler played alongside 49ers quarterbacks coach, Frank Cignetti Jr., when Cignetti was a safety for the Indians. The two were later on the same coaching staffs at their alma mater and with the New Orleans Saints. Hostler and his wife, Jen, have two sons, Clint and Grant, and a daughter Attie.
