This is an extremely well researched theory by Lady Nerevar, a very well respected and well known lore schollar and lorebeard. She has been around since the days of Morrowind and remains active to this day. The theory is well received and most of the deep lore community accepts this theory. It has also recently been reinforced by a Loremaster's Archive interview with Haskill.

TL;DR version: The CoC didn't change anything. Every Era a new champion takes the mantle of Sheogorath and at the end of every Era, Jyggalag returns and a new champion becomes Sheogorath. It's an interesting theory, but it seems the idea of Jyggalags being created to oppose every new Sheogorath is entirely dependent on the author's personal interpretation of the "Eat the Dreamer" Kirkbride article, where Akatosh has the opposing force of Lorkhan. But I fail to see why Akatosh always having an opposing force means Sheogorath always would too...
