Hoener was the O-Line Coach for Chicago in 2004, the same year Rivera got the DC job there.

He was also at one time the Offensive Coordinator for TCU, though that was before Danny Morrison had the AD job.

TCU! Now let's bring in my Dalton and go full circle :D

i hope everyone genuinely appreciates the effort that the front office (and coach rivera) has clearly put into the process of assembling a coaching staff. this should give you some confidence - not only in the front office, but also in this team. good coaches + young players = expectations. and we need some of those up in this biatch.

It's pronounced "Hay-ner" by the way (wonder if he's related to Jeff Dunham's "Guitar Guy" :lol:)

49ers Bio

Coach Pete Hoener: Career Man

From the article...

He’s a little rough around the edges. He’s tough. He’s not afraid to yell at his players. And the 49ers tight ends’ coach doesn’t care how his players get the job done, as long as they do it right.

That is the way Hoener was raised in Peoria, Ill., and that is the way he has been throughout his 34-year coaching career.

Hoener is not what some people call a “players’ coach,” and he will tell you that. But he will also tell you he isn’t trying to be one either.

And according to his players, Hoener really does have answers for any questions they have. “He is probably the best coach I’ve ever had, and knowing so much stuff is part of that,” tight end Vernon Davis said. “He knows anything you could want to want to know as a tight end.”

And even though Hoener was a tight end during his playing days, he still had all the answers when he was coaching other positions. For him, no matter the position or the level, whether college or the NFL, coaching is all the same. “Coaching is coaching,” he said. “That’s all there is to it.”

If you’re looking for Hoener away from the football field, it will be hard to find him – he doesn’t get out much anymore. When he was younger he used to have hobbies like fishing and golfing, but now he doesn’t have time for that; he’s too busy with practice, watching film and game planning. Hoener added that if any coach says they have hobbies they are lying. But so goes the life of a coach, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

“That’s what it is,” he said. “Coaching is my life, it’s what I do, and I really couldn’t imagine doing anything else.”

I got a funny feeling training camp is gonna be more like "boot camp" this year.

I can't help but be exited for Rivera.. and some of that yelling I hope is me watching our team knocking opposing heads off on defense, and of course, offense too... but I'm not going to get ahead of myself...
