Perhaps - if you consider his past accomplishments he could be viewed as a willing fall from grace. Otherwise, he's just 'pathetic', in the literary sense, and the writing team is too good to let that happen. He's the cliche of someone who wanted to milk past fame rather than put in the work and regain his credibility that way.
