It seems to me that the only reason to actually fire Dorsey today, as opposed to letting him stay in his job until 2018, when his contract would expire, is that Dorsey wouldn't give Clark Hunt any assurances that he couldn't leave for Green Bay if he was extended.

Hunt pays him either way so it appears to me that Clark cut the cord so that the front office is prepared for the 2018 draft.
I think it reasonable to say that Clark knows this is not good but what was lying ahead was going to be the same or worse. This was a "cut your losses" type of deal, obviously.
