It kinda depends on the Oakland game to determine how deep the problems are. If they look like they did in the Detroit game, they'll win and we're pretty much on track with last season's darkest moment. Not pretty, but fixable.
If they look like they did in the first two games, they'll lose at Oakland, and we've vastly overrated the team.
So depending on that, I'd probably dump both coordinators at the bye, and give Mike Shanahan all the resources he needs to improve the state of the organization over the following twelve weeks. No need for him to scout college players in anticipation of next draft: I've got a personnel department for that, and chances are the person in charge of the draft next year isn't in the organization. So that allows Shanahan to call the offense.
I'd probably start to IR some veterans. Fred Davis and Brandon Meriweather. I'd continue the "rotate Fletcher" plan until that position solves itself. Move towards a lot more man coverage on defense. Take advantage of great waiver position while you have it. The defensive front is going to get some guys back here, so I'm not that worried about it. The secondary isn't going to get guys back, but the system is also designed to not require the most talented of DBs, so it's possible we could find short or long term solutions on the waiver wire.
I'd take Chris Thompson off punt and kick returns.
