He can do whatever he deems best for him tbh
Stayed as a coach will be good for everyone

Should Ferguson have stayed as a coach or should he have looked to manage elsewhere?

This.
I am a huge fan of Dunc, as a public figure, as an avatar of the Club, as an all around salt of the earth guy (albeit one with a history of violence in service of club and defense of home, which is a feature not a bug for Mrs. THBJ).
The coaching record at the club during his tenure is not very good. Not only has the position in the table been generally unsatisfactory, the players haven't distinguished themselves so as to show they've been well coached. There was an uptick in form in set pieces, but that was the work of Davide Ancelotti and its was terrible before, terrible afterwards. DCL went from a squad player to a breakout star and Dunc was credited with his improvement, but we still don't know how sustainable, and DCL still struggles with the ball at his feet. Otherwise, there's not much that's been positive.
If he doesn't want to manage, that's fine. If he wants to coach - ie to teach skills, tactics, etc. -, ok, but even for that he probably needs to go somewhere.
If he wants to be just a totem for Everton Football Club, an ambassador, a public face, a cheerleader - and those are all great things - let's hire him for that. Let's have him in the concourses and the streets before and after the match, let's have him on TV, let's send him around the world to supporters' clubs events. Fantastic (not sarcasm, it would be great). What I suspect we have, instead, is that sort of role, in the guise as a coach. But we need better coaching.
As long as the club keeps giving him a role and option to stay then he will stay
I don’t see anyone else offering him a job

How would anyone know if that happens or not? And turned jobs down. Truth is we dont.
I always get, or got, the impression he didnt like the actual managers job. I felt he looked uncomfortable with the spotlight and media first time around.
Things may have changed since though.
Depends what his goal is

Absolutely, I mean who would have asked Dave to start a thread about Daves own obsession?
He's bonkers
If Duncan Ferguson really wants to be a Manager, now is the time to be throwing his name in the hat and start actively applying for available vacancies. The man is 50 years old ffs, Frank Lampard is 43 and is working his third managerial position.

That's the thing, maybe he just loves his job with the club and is happy to stay on in any coaching role. Nothing wrong with that
I forgot his homing pigeons would be stuffed if he moved anywhere far away lol
Who else was going to make him manager?
A lower league Scottish team where people understand a word he's saying?

I'm sure we pay him like
