I think Dorsey has plenty of years left in him that this wouldn't be the cause to decline the interview. I just think that the situation isn't ideal in San Fran, and Ballard is waiting for the right offer.

Either way, it's pretty cool to see a guy content with where he's at, that he doesn't hop straight for the promotion offer.
