Herm would be my bottom choice. Please recall his field goal strategy, and please recall the game against Indy where he went all conservative and punted the ball to Manning in overtime. I'll now give him credit for infusing the team with some talented players, but as a game day coach it's hard to imagine someone worse.

As for Crennel, I can't tell that he's even alive during the games. From my perspective, it seems like he stands there and meditates and the team plays the game and then the final whistle snaps him out of his trance.

So my order of preference would be:

1. Gunther - present and involved in game day, and I don't remember him gumming stuff up with bad decisions.

2. Crennel - gives the pigeons a place to roost, provides no positives and no negatives.

3. Herm - Actively screws up clock management, actively stops drives, doesn't push for scoring, generally makes the team worse on game day.

This is exactly why I picked Gunther.
Rain Man ftw.
