As in he's not sure that the rumour is true. Not sure how you've made the leap that he doubts his ability.

No, you misunderstand. I was not implying that at all.
It's actually quite clear that Ormerod is doubting Dunn's suitability (if not ability). The full quote is this:

My old mate David Dunn is among the favourites for the vacant Barrow job but I’m not too sure about that one.

I spoke to Dunny before he joined Blackpool as first-team coach, and even when he took over as caretaker I’m not too sure he ever had any interest in the manager’s job. He enjoys the coaching side of it

There is no way that implies Ormerod is doubting his suitability! Just speculating over whether Dunn would be interested in management.

It seems like some people are already trying to cast doubts before he's even taken up the job.

And we don't even know whether he will be taking up the job!
