Why not go for Paul Rowley (at present being linked to HKR) for backs coach. he had Leigh playing some great rugby during the last few years, some fans say to much rugby at times.
If he doesn't fancy an assistants job, make him head coach and give Wane the assistants job and tell him to concentrate on getting some fire in the present forwards.
Remember an unknown assistant named Maguire coming in has head coach a few years ago, with Wane as his assistant concentrating on the forwards, I seem to remember it working rather well then.
I don't think Rowley would be a bad shout for a coaching role. But I wouldn't give him the top job.
I keep thinking of Saints signing Millward, who'd also worked wonders with Leigh, and though it all went swimmingly at Saints too, what happened after that seemed to indicate that Saints had won everything despite Millward not because of him.
Leigh isn't Wigan. But he's an adversarial character and a big thinker, and any kind of promotion could be possible if he proved his worth.
