I'm guessing it was more like "Let's talk and we can negotiate after the season".
And now as they were negotiating Shanahan didn't like the ask and he moved on. Remember a lot of the market really liked Dubas and wanted him back...so it's Shanahan that has to try to save face here to make it look like it's all Dubas fault.

Could be but that's also an assumption. I did think Shanahan was very forthcoming in his timeline of events that makes it hard to side with Dubas here. He thought they came close but he thought (as did I), the longer this goes the scales tip to Dubas holding his feet to the fire. Shanahan didn't have a choice here and decided to cut it off. It must've looked bad with the board when Dubas is doubting his drive with the team. But then wanting more money? I don't get it. It's poor negotiating strategy. Well done by Shanahan.
