Where can the organization go from here coaching wise?
I still think they should let Shanny finish his contract and then make a decision but if they do make a change they should hire a pro coach who knows the pro game.

I know what you mean. It’s worth nothing though that Cerrato was likely a huge factor in undermining each of the coaches he’s worked alongside, to the point the mess that was created when the current regime arrived is one of the few things everyone agrees Shanny has, for the most part addressed.
It’s why I honestly believe that if the foundations are stable, and they appear to be i.e. the locker room isn’t poisonous, the owner has learned to refrain from meddling, we have a franchise QB and a handful of promising young players, then if it’s all change again the transition should in theory be smoother and we ultimately get to where we want to be quicker and more progressively than in previous years.
As has been hinted at, Mike may not even want to finish up his contract if he feels next year is a must win situation. And if that is the case, then it’s in the best interests of the team that he’s allowed to walk at the end of the season as despondency at H/C level can breed a negative mentality. I haven’t seen his post-game interview after the Eagles loss, but understand it suggested he’s there already unfortunately and if true, then it’s a shame all round but again, the best interests of the team are what matter.
