If it wasn't for the millions of dollars, I would feel bad for him.
That's my read as well. I think he wasn't sure what he really wanted, and it took him to the deadline, to realize the flames $$$ wasn't going to be the tipping point to keep him.

I don't know if that's "awkward", think many of us can get twisted about regarding a big decision, even though we know the answer deep down.
