They picked the D-Line coach over Vic because he pissed off management making that threat for them to make a decision for him or Shanahan, otherwise he was leaving.

Vic Fangio wants 49ers head coaching job, or wants Mike Shanahan as head coach, per report - Niners Nation

Owners don't respond well to threats.
