There 'are' reasons it is illegal to coast downhill in neutral and they
go triple for a short wheelbased Jeep.
When you coast in neutral, it unloads the suspension making everything
just flop around loose. This can translate to marginal wear that you
wouldn't normally notice in say shackles, springs, bushings, tie rod
ends, etc all adding up to give a serious loss of control.
When you are in gear, all these parts get under a torque load that keeps
things at one side of their wear pattern which keeps it stable.

Also, when you keep the clutch engaged the RPM of the clutch will not exceed
the RPM of the engine. If you simply must coast with the engine disengaged,
take it out of gear and leave the clutch in. It's still a bad idea, though.
You can bet that if that guy had engaged the clutch before it blew while at
speed he would have been buying a new motor, too.
