Dunno on that one. He was awful as a game-planner/play-caller in Denver and fired after a year. The Niners liked him for his work with QBs. Feel like anyone replacing McDaniel has to be a great all-around offensive mind but especially gifted in run game scheming.
Maybe he was awful because they had bad players, starting with the QB.
Very possible. You could be right. He went 4-1 with Lock. The more that I dig into it, I'm reading that Fangio butted into the offense way more than he should've. I'm gonna go ahead and backtrack on what I've said on Scangarello. He was awful early in the year, but it could very well be a combination of Fangio being overbearing on the rookie OC. It seems like he actually got things going late in the year and Fangio bailed on him more because they didn't get along and/or really had philosophical differences.
Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reported in November that Fangio "has had issues with offensive assistants."
"Lines of communication have been strained, and Fangio has been quick to dispute play calls and come across as overbearing on the headsets, sources said, which has created issues in-game and otherwise," La Canfora wrote.

That's the problem with HC's from a DC back ground, no offensive consistency or patience. Look at Cheat Carroll in Seadderall Land, he just fired his (I think) 3rd or 4th OC in his Tenure with Seadderall.
