Mike Nolan will keep his job as the coach of the San Francisco 49ers but will relinquish final say over personnel decisions, Yahoo! Sports has learned.
...
According to a source familiar with the situation, Nolan met separately Tuesday with several key assistants, including offensive coordinator Jim Hostler, who is likely to be fired after one season in charge of the 49ers' offense. The Niners ranked last in the NFL in eight offensive categories, including points, yards and third-down efficiency. Former St. Louis Rams coach Mike Martz is reportedly in line to succeed Hostler if, as expected, he is fired as the Detroit Lions' offensive coordinator. Another possibility is current Dolphins coach Cam Cameron, if Cameron is fired after one season with Miami.
