Is your question who would I go out and hire today, or at their peak?

I'm thinking more like, "Which rightfully strikes the most fear into an opponent heading into the next season". Or whatever you want.

If the question is: Who strikes the most fear in an opponent, the answer is Norm Chow. As far as who I would rather have, the answer is Brandon Doman just because I think he has more upside then the rest at this point in his career.

I read it as the best of all time or who would go into the hall of fame first.

with these parameters the answer is logical to me: Crowton

I don't think Doman strikes fear in anybody.....yet.
Unless he's pulling double duty, Chow won't be an OC next year (if he's HQ/OC then I stand corrected and might change my vote).
I haven't heard Anae's name so much as mumbled during talks of next year's power potential.
As has been noted, Crowton has quite the reputation for coming on in a flash at programs, using their existing talent, the fading. So if Crowton gets named OC at a decent AQ school and I was a coach from a different school in that conference, I would be concerned, especially if we played early in the season.

Chow--easily. Crowton 2nd. Anae 3rd. Doman last, but only because his body of work is much smaller. But I have great hope for Doman.

Norm Chow hasn't been a good OC in college since he returned to the college game. Here's how his offenses have recently ranked:
2011: 80th rushing, 99th passing, 109th total, 74th scoring
2010: 32nd rushing, 116th pasing, 100th total, 104th scoring
2009: 97th rushing, 52nd passing, 88th total, 94th scoring
2008: 116th rushing, 73rd passing, 111th total, 109th scoring

Those are BAD offenses.

Doman's first year:56th rushing, 47th passing, 41st total, 42nd scoring

Now go compare how the QBs fared. Chow made those offenses better than the QB play. He calls a good game, and it was clear to see watching his teams that he helped them be better. And that is where stats alone fail horribly.
