I think there's a bit of an unwritten rule that says you don't block guys for interviewing for promotions (I'm of the belief that when teams do that, they're running cover for the guy they're 'blocking').

I think Clark swallowed hard, recognized the scouting success Dorsey had, hoped that he'd be able to keep Ballard and if he couldn't, that Dorsey could man the ship on his own.

But/for the record, it sounds like Dorsey would've gotten the ax and Ballard promoted. But I think that was a tough pill for Clark to swallow without knowing for sure. The slapdickery around Maclin was probably what he needed to see.
