Dude!
Please understand this:
The NCAA changed blocking rules, getting low level Recruits to flip from Wofford and Appy State to dive at DLinemen's kneecaps wasn't going to be sustainable, a-backs and WRs had to block differently, we no longer had any advantage vs P5 Teams that set aside 1 practice period the entire year just to be ready for us, we could no longer run jet sweeps vs. friggin' Duke, we had turned into a QB keeper offense, there were no more Wallers or Smelters in the pipeline, HS Coaches wouldn't return CPJ's calls anymore.
At the end that last Bowl loss vs Minnesota & PJ Fleck was as good as it was ever going to be going forward.
The tough talking CPJ saw the writing on the wall and became a quitter, people that Retire from FB Coaching with honor announce it at the beginning of the season , CPJ saw the incoming 'Croots and said I QUIT.
That's the guy you're trying to deify.
