I think Coogler does stuff better than they do (as do Gunn and Waititi) but the Russos are overall better.
I want to see Coogler really flex his muscles this time, like he did with Creed. We know he has it. He showed it in some of the BP fights too (casino fight and first vs Killmonger in particular). But I think he was still trying to get comfortable directing those kinds of fights, and Marvel may have not completely taken off the reins. The latter isn't particularly bad but it does lead to that homogeneity which I personally think is becoming stale in the MCU.
So the script or Coogler himself can stage more fights he can actually shoot well and be far more involved in, or he chooses to go with big action set pieces himself and tries to direct them. Main thing, I think they can be a little bit more drawn out and the dynamics can change a bit. Stealth missions, infiltrations, daring rescues, bigger car chases and more complicated fight scene scenarios would be nice.
What I have been personally thinking about is that the action sequences should less be about whether T'Challa can get hurt or not, and more about if he can protect other people (loved ones or civilians), keep the fight self contained and secret, and whether or not the fight is a morally good choice.
