From FFC's paragraph about Sir Fang, if he was actually "a 9th level fighter", wouldnt that suggest the cleric came after D&D was being played?

No. Lord Fant/Sir Fang was a long running character. It is important to recognize that the FFC is a mish mash of material, ranging from Dave's earliest campaign notes to explanatory bits written in 1977 for the FFC itself. The passage you quote is the latter. Also, even early Blackmoor characters had "warrior" and/or "magic" levels as in the Ran of Ah Foo write up.
