"And isn't comparing this guy to Miyamoto just a tad much?"
Hell no.
"Miyamoto is considered by many to be the father of modern video gaming. This guy, at best, can be called the father of the MODERN FPS."
You see what I did. Carmack is an amazing developer. Shiggy is an amazing designer. Is there anything wrong with the two being compared? Absolutely not. Especially since they will both be inducted into the Hall of Game (if they both have not been already. I know Shiggy has been.).
You like Bungies work more. That is fair. But it is like saying someone likes Okami more than Zelda. It should not take away thee impact of Zelda, or in my simile, DOOM had on the gaming industry. Anyone can say that another developer does it better ten, or fifteen years later. But who "fathered" it is a rather big accomplishment.
