Scheff was definitely starting to sound tired and a change was needed. Coffey seemed like a great fit to me. Not sure what the hell happened. Donell imo sings circles around both.
If you go by Jeff's Facebook page, he truly just decided the manic touring life was not for him. I think he's a family man. Pretty admirable if so, because I have to imagine that was a pretty good paycheck for him.
I'd have to hear Neil in the flesh to compare him to Jeff. I bought Jeff's solo albums after seeing him with Chicago. Not too shabby, at all.
