Wilbur Jackson, Sly Croom, Ozzie Newsome, etc, are telling inaccurate stories because they are caught up in the mythos?
Really?

Maybe. I could see a reason for it.
What do they get out of trying to tear down the legacy of one of the most successful coaches of all time? A lot of grief from Bama fans that take all this way too seriously, that's what.
What do they get out of supporting Bear's version of his legacy? Well they get to hitch part of their personal brand to a very successful coach, plus they get the respect and admiration of Bama fans who want to believe.
The exact same thing happened in regards to Douglas MacArthur, no one back in the day wanted to call him out as the chickenshit egomaniac that he was. It took DECADES for the full truth to come out. Same thing will happen with Steve Jobs. Sometimes a cult of personality can override personal considerations.
